Lucy's hospital stay the last 2 days has been an erratic experience. The medical staff worked out several small issues with the drain, and her mood, pain, hunger/nausea, energy level, and amount of csf drainage have each been constantly changing. Her basic safety, however, remains the same: no signs of infection, great labs and vitals, and-- most importantly--a dry nose.
The lumbar drain will not likely be pulled until Friday, to be certain that the surgery site has had ample time to dry out, and her brain has fully sealed.
Thankfully, she is ending today more like herself than any time since admission.
She lost a front tooth Friday night and shows off her gap for you below!
Lucy,
ReplyDeleteI knew that tooth would come out soon. I can't wait to see you later this week!
Love,
Bobbi
