Spent about 5 hours with my wife at the hospital today.

Still a lot of uncertainty about some test results and whatnot. Seems the muscles around her lungs are not working SUPER well, but also are not like dangerously bad? Some of the tests the neurologists have done are interesting in the sense that... OK, I'm going to try and explain it.

Try to play an imaginary piano or type at a typewriter. When my wife tried to do those things, her fingers moved almost in a jittery way? There was no fluid movement to her fingers. The same thing happened when he asked my wife to take her finger and put it on her nose and then reach out to his finger basically at arms length away. Again, not a fluid movement from my wife doing that, it was kinda jittery?

The main hospital in our city is also a teaching hospital so the neurologists had students with them and apparently from what my wife remembers hearing, they said, "Well that's not good" and then kinda walked off.

I am now home to rest and whatnot (I've been kinda sick lately) and they have now called for an ECG just to check her heart health (she has a pacemaker and a connective tissue problem so you know... heart troubles could be likely) to rule things out.

Shitty thing about all this is she is still not technically in a ward yet. She's been there since Wednesday and they still don't actually have her admitted to a ward, so she's sitting in an intermediary area that is very prison-like. Used to be for PEDS and then a mental health ward so the doors lock automatically and it's not very... stimulating.
