Sophia's cool turban

Close up of leads
 
These leads are connected to her brain and connect to the black box you can see at the head of her bed. I'm curious how many there are because when they had the box opened, it looked like the black leads you can see have more than one wire in the sheath. This is how they do the "mapping" or monitoring of her brain activity. Since there are non-stop hours of data, if someone is in the room when she has any type of seizure activity, there is a button to push that marks the place so they can easily find it. How boring would that be to sift through?

Sophia is supposedly sleeping but when I was asking the nurse too many detailed questions about the procedure, she somehow made it clear that we needed to stop talking.

      Not too bored. I'm working on paperwork, playing my latest game obsession, etc. I do feel antsy and hungry though. I need to walk someplace and get food, but I don't want Sophia to be alone at all. Not that I'm worried about her, I just don't want her to wake up with no one around to be angry at. :)

    My understanding from when josh had open heart surgery is that any kind of stimulation, even when asleep, slows the healing process.
    I will keep you both in my prayers. It made a HUGE difference for me to know that so many were praying for us.
