Mom was moved up to the NeuroScience ICU wing a few hours ago where we got to see her and she is doing GREAT! She is COMPLETLY awake from the anesthesia and is very responsive! She is moving her limbs, winking, and answering questions with a thumbs up or thumbs down! If you remember her last brainstem surgery it took her 6 weeks just to wake up, so as you can imagine our family is just thrilled with her initial recovery!
The next few days is going to be very rough as the brainstem will start to swell, she will become less responsive. Her team keeps reminding us, it will get much worse before she can get better.
All good news to report tonight, she is stable so we must sleep! Time for us to recharge so we can support her tomorrow!
Thank you again for all the prayers today, my sweet prayer warriors!! Mom is the ultimate example of one of God's miracles!! Our prayers for a successful surgery were answered!
Thank you!!
Fantastic news. We know a very special angel named Kitty is watching over her.
ReplyDeleteLots of love and prayers coming your way from Pittsburgh.
