Its been a crazy weekend. Erica has had a horrible headache for the past 4 days. Hasn't been able to sleep or do anything else. She never gets headaches like that.
So we went to the doctor on Saturday figuring that he would give her a super strong prescription and send us home. Not the case. He suggested that we go to the ER to make sure this isn't something very serious.
So we went. 12 hours later, she had been in the isolation room of the ER, gotten a CAT scan, loads of blood work & gotten a spinal tap.
They're saying now that she's got Viral Meningitis, which is not life threatening & will run it's course. But the Neurologist & Contageous Diseases Specialist want to run a few more tests on her tomorrow, hopefully she comes home then.
She still has the headache now, but we both feel better knowing that its almost definitely not something longterm or very serious.
