-Lucy's first MRI without sedation, due to the lack of sedation doctors around on Sunday. If she couldn't stay still for the hour-long scan, she would have to wait until this afternoon, but she did great, with lots of pain meds and an American Girl movie on. (Results not in). She even gave a smile when she came out because she knew she had met a challenge.
-A beautiful sky out the hospital window.
-The IV morphine that gave Lucy a great night's sleep.
-The endocrine medicines which, as usual, completely replace her pituitary hormones so that her body functions properly and her labs, heartrate, blood pressure, and breathing are all perfect.
-Three teams of very smart people (icu, endocrine, and neurosurgery) following every data point.
-Attentive nurses
- This fun blanket on her bed when she got back from MRI
-Presents! And the ten minutes of alertness to enjoy opening them.
Great news.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear this positive report.
Lucy is a real trooper.
Tell her we are keeping her ( and mom & dad ) in our prayers.
Tell Lucy that I am loving her new blanket!! So proud of her for being still. I have had one of those and it is not easy!! Hope she gets out soon!
