Had to sleep.. Blogging had to wait.

Well its been over 24 hours since the surgery. Jenny is alert, chatting, eating like a horse, complaining about pain, all good things. She did manage to get a few hours of sleep last night which helped. Fortunately she has not has any more seizures. She had two right after she came out of surgery and one around 630pm on thursday.

The only issue that Jenny is having is her left arm has a tremor and it is much weaker. Remember the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body so that would explain the issues. She has already spoken with a neurologist and they are confident as the brain heals so will the weakness. Her left leg seems to be doing okay. She is still in the neuro ICU at this point in time. I would bet she gets moved later today to the general neuro beds. They have doubled her dosage of keppra (anti-seizure medicine) to 1000mg 2x per day.

I also attahched a picture from today. She has a sweet gauze helmet on! Don't worry about the spots on the front. Those are just sharpie markers that circled some bleeding right after surgery. They do that to monitor if there is any excessive drainage. But fret not, all is well....
