Day 1, post op

Devynne had her Invasive EEG today, they drilled three holes the size of a nickle and placed subdural electrode strips on the surface of her brain.  They are going to monitor her for a few days.  Doc said she could be in the hospital for 1 to 30 days....depending on how long it takes for them to capture the right amount of info they need.  But said usually it's only 3-4 days.  Doctor said everything went well in surgery.  She went in at 0730 and was in recovery at 1030.  She's been recovery pretty good.  Had a couple of set backs, she's been throwing up everything she eats or drinks.  She doesn't have an IV so she really needs to start keeping stuff down. 

She looks really good, doesn't look like she just had her skull drilled into :)  Will keep you posted on how she's doing.  Had a lot of visitors today, it was really nice.  She slept through most of it.  My boss, Wendy, Mike, Laura and the shirt stopped by.  We also ran into one of her teachers who was here visiting another person.  My mom is here with us, staying the night to make sure everything stays smooth.  Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts!!

I'm glad she's doing alright chica. Maybe you should threaten her into keeping her food down??? :P
