Things are going fine.
They have placed a temporary lumbar drain - to keep the pressure of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from getting too high after the surgery.
They have also taken a fat graft - a small piece of fat from Lucy's abdomen that will help to patch the surgical site and prevent drainage of CSF from her nose after the surgery. We both offered our fat (in as much quantity as necessary) to help Lucy.
I appreciate the comic relief about donating your fat.
ReplyDeleteDitto that! I'd line up for such a donation! Who else can I help with my fat? Let's have a fat drive...
ReplyDeleteLucy looks so grown-up in this picture... oh my goodness! Next thing we know she will be holding car keys instead of a balloon.
ReplyDeleteWhich reminds me, do you think it is too late in the process for the surgeon to implant some sort of radar in her brain that will give her the ability to sort through the inevitable slew of highschool suitors? If they say it isn't possible, at least she will still have 3 brothers to keep her from canoodling with losers.
Signing off,
