We are all back home this evening. Sue was released from the hospital yesterday afternoon. Mark Goldman, Chris and Shelly, and Margaret made her homecoming a welcome and comfortable one. Shelly was here with Sue when we arrived, having brought food, magazines, and hats and scarves. Sue has stitches up the sides of her head, about 15-20 each side, which are clearly visible because her head is shaved in the front quarters. The stitches come out Thursday. She has mainly slept today.

So far the test results from this most recent monitoring were inconclusive. The hope and thought were that all the problematic brain waves were isolated to the left temporal lobe. The very first seizure came from the right. All the others originated on the left. Dr. Hogan is looking over all the data and will call Sue in for a further consult in a couple of weeks. More later when we know more.

Shirley and I drove home from Chicago in my 16 year old Acura today. It ran like a top. At age 16, I guess it will soon start driving itself. At Chris's suggestion (and his purchase during his and Shelly's overnight at Best Buy on Thanksgiving night), I had got Shirley a GPS device for Christmas. Pete and Janet had one when we were in Spokane, and it surely was a handy thing to have in an unfamiliar setting. Shirley and I decided to use it for our drive even though we have made that drive literally hundreds of time. Because of the bright and low winter sun, we missed our exit from highway 55 onto hiway 40 and found ourselves in downtown St. Louis. That little GPS saved the day. Pete and Janet call theirs "Monique." We haven't yet come up with a name. "Boss," perhaps?
