Damon Report

For those of you who knew about our interesting visits to the ER last week - Damon is doing well and is going back to work tomorrow morning. I'm hoping that all goes well for him and we won't have to go back for more testing. Thank You for everyone who showed their support by calling, visiting and praying for us during the scary times!

Here is the scoop for those who might be out of the loop on the whole thing:

Last Monday Damon was brought to the ER from work because he had a 'explosion' (for lack of a better term) between his eyes and was feeling pressure on the brain, as well as, seeing double and feeling as though he was going to pass out. We went to Grand Itasca - they did a CT Scan, gave him a shot for a migrain, dialated his eyes and sent us over to Bonner Eye Clinic to make sure there were no broken blood vessels or _____ (whatever else could be wrong with the eyes). Both of these places found nothing wrong with Damon and gave him the OK to go back to work.

Tuesday morning Damon calls me at 5:40am to come and pick him up from work because he is seeing double again and is feeling as though he is going to pass out. We head to Duluth - had a MRI, MRA, Ecko Gram, EKG, Blood Testing and anything else they could think of and everything came back normal. What they did find is a major sinus infection in his frontal lobe - crazy, since there have been absolutely no sinus infection signs (running nose, conjestion, etc...)

Damon is on some major antibiotics and is feeling great. He says that Friday was the first time in months that he has woke up without a headache - which makes me wonder just how long he has been dealing with the infection up until last week??

I guess we are not out of the woods yet because Damon hasn't gone through a day of work yet; however, I'm confident with all the tests they did in Duluth and the fact that Damon has been carrying on like his normal self for the last two days - yea!

I can't tell you how scary it is to think of all the horrible things that could be causing pressure on the brain but how relieved I am to know that the antibiotics are making him feel 110% better at this time!
