I first just want to thank everyone for your concern, love, and prayers for my sister.
Just a quick update...Melanie came home from the hospital on Tuesday, but still wasn't feeling better. The doctor said she could go home because they had ruled out a lot of possibilities of what it could have been. He thought it was just bad migraines and tension headaches. So, after no improvement, she went in yesterday for a blood patch. All I know about a blood patch is that sometimes after an epidural, it can leave a space or air pocket in your tissue so they put blood back in where your epidural was. And that is supposed to make the headaches go away. She is feeling slightly better, but her head and back still hurt. She still has high blood pressure, so she is going in today to get that checked out.
My mom has been staying with her and she says there's a little bit of a twinkle back in Melanie's eyes.
We are still praying for her and would appreciate your prayers.

Glad she is doing a little better. My friend has had bad experiences with epidurals and has had to have the blood patch twice. Hopefully she gets back to herself soon! We will keep praying.
