The Big Room

Well the big room on the neuro floor opened up today. The staff gaves us first dibs at it. We have a lot more room to move around now.

As far as Sarah going home in the next couple of days, I wouldn’t count on it. They can’t really send her home until she is over the vomiting and off all IV fluids and meds. Dr. Mangano came in today and told me that her CT scan looked great and she looks great. He said that by her scan there is no sign of excessive intracranial pressure, so he is not really sure why she is vomiting so much. There is some air still in her skull so that will cause headaches until her body removes it.

Sarah woke up this morning in a good mood. She was hungry and ate some breakfast. She couldn’t eat much due to her stomach skrinking. She went to physical therapy today down in the gym. When she came back she was completely exhausted and took a three hour nap. After that she ate some lunch, but vomited about 3:30pm. That was the first time today. She vomited four times yesterday, so it seems to be decreasing by the day. Hopefully whatever it is will go away. They are confident that none of her issues are seizure related. I have seen no signs of anything that would make me think seizure. She is still on IV fluids until she can hold all of her food down for a day.

We will just keep praying.
