CT scan looked great so Charlie Claire got the breathing tube removed...she is a much happier girl!
The scan showed that the grid is placed well so they started the EEG. It will be a few days before we know exactly what is going on.
There was some bleeding from the drainage tube and they removed it but had to give her a stitch, she was not a fan of the numbing shot the gave her.
Currently, C is probably getting the best sleep she has had since coming out of surgery. She really didn't like the tube down her throat.
So far her nurses and everyone at MCV have been amazing! Super helpful and taking super care of our sweet girl!
Warning: if you get queasy you may want to stop reading this blog now...here is a picture of Charlie Claire Bear's incision from a little while ago. It actually looks much better than we thought it would. The wires coming out of her head are the leads for the grid.
Even though my daughter went through the same surgery, it is still hard for me to look at those pictures. Maybe I was in shock at the time, but it was much easier for me to look at the incision in person. Anyway, you all have been in my thoughts and I hope the grid data comes back normal.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for all of the updates! The incision looks great! Looking good you guys, hang in there.
