It's Not a Tumor

...but it is a big old clot in my brain. We did some really cool 3-D imaging on the veins in my head yesterday that made the problem amazingly apparent. I was immediately re-hospitalized. The good news is that this is highly treatable and I am being very well taken care of. Even better, this appears to have absolutely nothing to do with having been in Bolivia. Best of all, Bob will get a free t-shirt if he participates in the blood drive downstairs.

There are a couple candidates floating around as to the cause but we're not certain yet. We'll probably be in Miami for at least 4 or 5 more days. Then we'll have to work with the hematologist to see what kind of a plan we can work on for returning to Bolivia. So far, so good.

So my "Jessie should've hit the coca tea" theory doesn't hold water.

Did Mom told you don't clog your brain with silly stuff? Hope medicine, Bob and rest will help fix that. Please get better for all our sake.
