A case of the Mondays

Mirabel had another busy day on Monday.
It started off with going to the OR to have her chest closed. Between
the sedation for the surgery and her anti-seizure meds she was out all
day.
Later in the day she went to CT. A big ordeal since they have to drag
all her monitors and IV's and ventilator along.
To add insult to injury, she had to do all that with a tragic case of
bed head. Made worse by all the goop left over from an EEG a couple
of days ago.
At the end if the day we talked to the doctor about her CT results.
She did have a small bleed in her brain. The good news is that
although whatever damage was caused is permanent, he said that chances
are good that it will only affect her fine muscle movements and may
not even be noticable.
The bad news is that it doesn't explain her seizures. However, she
hasn't had any in a couple of days and there is the chance that we
might never know what caused them.
Then we went to dinner at our new favorite place. It's called "La
Cafeteria" and comes highly recommended.
When we returned our little baby had woken up a little for us. She was
still a bit groggy but we got to see those beautiful eyes again before
we went home for the night.
I'm writing this on Tuesday. Pardon the expression but it's a "baby
steps" kind of day. A little less morphine, a little more food and
they'll adjust things again in the morning.
