Gary says he and Sophia both slept well last night. I also slept better than I have in a long time. (Of course, I was home in a real bed, so that makes it easier.) Dr. Constantino (Sophia's epilleptologist) talked to Gary this morning and said that her brain is showing lots of "spikes" which means she is close to having a seizure. The Dr. removed Depakote from her morning med dose (1 of 3 of her meds), so I predict she will seize tonight, if not during the day when she dozes off.
Sophia is more herself today than she has been since the surgery. She is in less pain and much more awake. She has eaten more, played her new DS (thanks Gary!), and done a couple of word puzzles. We tried Animal Planet for a minute but it was showing animals having surgery. Sophia was not interested in watching that. :)
Thanks to my coworkers at RISE for the card. Sophia really likes the turtle in roller skates on the front. She wanted me to hang it under the TV where she can see it. Thanks Annie for delivering the card and snacks. It really means a lot to know that so many people are thinking about and caring for us. And thank you to my mom for stopping in during lunch and after work. (She works a an RN in the endoscopy unit on campus here.) I don't know why, but mom's seem to make everything better. Thanks Chris for the TLC. And thanks, as always, to Gary for taking the night shift. I don't know how he does that and is pleasant the next day. I would be GRUMPY.
Just waiting for a seizure, but since we have to wait until Tues. for the surgery, I'm sure it's just a matter of keeping Sophia happy and entertained until then.
