Clamp tomorrow

Glad that the nursing station was equipped with the age-old treatment for nausea - Coca cola.  (This is not product placement, so Liz don't get too excited.)  She woke with a slight headache and some nausea that are both better lying askew in the bed as you see from the photos.  She tried Zofran, which slowly began to work.

Once she started sipping the coke with the magical crunchy ice, she was well on her way to ordering breakfast.

Grover provided distraction until her breakfast arrived.

Our doctor stopped by and said we would proceed with plans to clamp her drain tomorrow.

Clamping the drain allows the CSF pressure to return to normal.  That should alleviate the headaches and nausea she has.

As the CSF pressure returns to normal it will test the surgical site above her nose.  We will watch for any more signs of drainage like she had before.  We really hope her nose stays clear for a day or so, because... If it stays clear after clamping, then the drain can be pulled & WE CAN GO HOME!  Please join in praying for this outcome.
