It's about 7:15 on Friday night, Lisa ate really well, gave me all of her saltine crackers that she doesn't like. Nurse just took vitals and her blood pressure is up a bit. Hmmm, wonder why? Poor thing, I can tell she is getting nervous. She is not talking much, has her finger up to her chin and has a far away look in her eye. I asked her about it and she said she is nervous as she patted my hand twice. We took a long walk on 2 floors, she is doing well. I am showing a picture of her incision just so you can see what she is enduring. Click on the picture for a larger view.
She was unhooked from all monitors at 2:00 this afternoon. She is done being monitored for seizures, hopefully for the last time.
One of the highlights for Lisa was having some company from the apartments where she lives. They brought her some cards signed by all who work and live there and a large banner that says "Get well soon Lisa" It is colorful and looks awesome in her room. We taped it up and she looks at it often and smiles. Thank you to the Irvin gang for making Lisa feel special. You all are awesome!!!
Her surgery tomorrow is one that the doctors are confident about. The seizures are coming from an area in the brain that is fairly common for seizures to come from. I will show the picture I took in a different post.
Lisa is in bed and trying to sleep right now. She has been sitting up for a few hours and was sleeping when company arrived for about 20 minutes. She is zonked and will sleep really good tonight.
Hi Lisa!
ReplyDeleteI am writing this as you are in surgery. I am praying for you! I know you have been very patient and courageous. We are grateful for doctors that have God-given-skills to perform the type of surgery you are having. I will continue to pray for a speedy recovery for you.
I love you. Most importantly - Jesus loves you!
