UPDATE ON SIERRA
Hey everyone, Joe again. So, still no answers as to why Sies had spotty memory. We have ruled out all the major stuff. She woke up this morning acting very normal and I think we’re through the acute phase of her memory loss and confusion. Doctors think it maybe a transient global amnesia event triggered by stress. Which seems to kind of fit only, she wasn’t stressed when it came on. However, we don’t live a stress free life. None of us do. I don’t know at this point. She’s normal, so we want to go home and return our lives back to our normal.

Thank you for all the prayers. We will probably follow up with Neurology if any symptoms persist and maybe have her primary do some follow on testing outpatient for things like diabetes and Lupus. But she’s in good spirits this morning, and ready to get home.

We both appreciate all the well wishes, messages of support, offers of help and most of all prayers. All of this has been scary as hell. Watching her, not being able to “fix it” has been hell on me. But, with Gods grace and good support from family, friends and staff here at SJH, we made it through the tough stuff.

Thank you. Yall are amazing.
Joe
PS: the business phone has been dead and in her purse for a while so if you’re waiting to hear back from us, please be a little patient, we will get back to you ASAP. PROMISE!

Hey everyone,
Joe here. I don’t post on Sierra’s page often. But, I wanted to share with everyone that Sierra and I will be away from the businesses for a couple of days. Yesterday Sierra became very confused, and so as a protective husband I brought her to SJH. She was seen in the ED and a bunch of tests were run. CT, MRI, bloodwork you name it. All were negative, which is good news because they ruled out some really scary things. But, it left us with some uncertainty because we now don’t have any answers.
At this point we don’t need anything but prayers for Sierra and her team of Doctors, Nurses, and staff to find what’s got her out of whack. That may change, so if you get a weird requesting from me, like pizza at 9pm, hook me up!
Sierra is in good spirits, she is eating well, and she’s not in a lot of pain or anything. So, we are hoping for a quick stay in St. John’s and then getting home to our goats, donkeys, cows, chickens, cats and dogs. But for the time being, no one will be working on The Nest at Josies Farm or Two Twigs Photography stuff. Please respect that. I will give an update as I know more. Love y’all
Joe
