On her way

Lisa is back on her way.

This morning Dad went in to see her around 7:30 am. She got a break from visitors until about 11:30ish when Karen went to see her and she was off for another CT scan. She had a party in her room. Karen, Parker, Amy, Aunt Carolyn were all there when Sydney and I came in at 12:00.

She ate a lunch of liquids...she was not thrilled. I helped with the jello and the tea...Amy told me to stop feeding her the non-nutritious  stuff and get to the beef broth...ick! So when Amy went to get the ice for the broth, and I moved over to the other side and let her feed it to her. Amy put it into a cup with a straw and some ice. (ewww) She took a swig and did not like it, I laughed and said, "is it gross?" She answered, "yes, it is gross." Amy told her, "yes, but it is good for you and you need to drink it to get strong"...to which Lisa replied..."I'll do it for you guys, but NO ONE ELSE!" very irritated and pretty much wanted to ignore us. LOL! Amy was relentless. I wasn't gonna have her get mad at me:))  The picture below is the broth drink...as I am reading Lisa all of the emails, and the blog comments.

Lisa is getting back to her opinionated self. She has a way to go, but she is on her way. She looks awesome! I told her that she gave us all a good scare. She just looked forward. I told her that she slept pretty much from Sunday until yesterday. I asked her if she remembered if we were there and she replied "yes, I did."

Dr Katner, and Dr Harvey came in to check her out. She is twitching, which is new. She has been twitching since Sunday and when we asked why, they think it could be seizures, but will do an EEG when she is better from her surgery. She stuck out her tongue and tried to smile for them, she wiggled her toes and looked into their eyes. Her pupils both dilated. Her CT scan came back good. The shunt is in the right place, it is in the 3rd ventricle and is draining as it should. There are no complications at this time. They told us that they are concerned about the twitching but took care of the hydocepholy first. She was in a coma. Dr Katner asked us how long she has had seizures, we told him since she was 9 months old, after contracting encephalitis. He asked us what her seizures looked like and if she had them everyday...no, just a few times a month when we were little and then these past few years, they have gotten more frequent and drop down grand mals, her memory is being affected by them...so that is why she had the surgery. He got a bit of an education about her today. I hope that we can figure out the twitching. I hope it is not a different type of seizure, that is our new fear!
