Day After Right Temporal Lobectomy

Today is day 2!  Yesterday Devynne had a Right Temporal Lobectomy, her doctor removed her right Hippocampus and her right amygdala.  Doc said the surgery went very well, lasted about 6 hours.  She was moved into her ICU room around 645 lastnight.  Woke up a little around 930 lastnight and tried to drink a little...that wasn't a good idea, she started throwing up.  They removed her cathitor at that time and she said she had to pee so they let her get up out of bed.  She did pretty good, got sick on the toilet.  Slept pretty much through the night (with the exception of the nurses and doctors waking her up).  This morning she looks a bit swollen in her right side of her face but still doing pretty good.  Doctor and Occupational Therapist says she looks really good.  Hoping to move to a regular room later this evening.  Still a long road ahead!!
