Oh What A Night

Oh what a night, late September and we're feeling right! Throughout the night LeeLee has been saying less and less her head hurts! As of 6:15 she says she isn't in pain or nauseated. she has had a bath, been to CT scan brushed her teeth and now waiting to get the catheter out. sometime later today she will go for a MRI. At various times during the night she has been asking stuff like "did somebody call (fill in the blank) and we assure her we called or text everyone we could. still a few to get in touch with today, but that's typical LeeLee making her list and checking it twice and would be horrified if we find we missed one single person. She looks like Herself, for those that can't imagine. There is one bandage small on the right side of her head half inch or so back from her hairline so she has been shaved a small area there to put in the drainage tube called a ventriculostomy. Her hairstyle probably isn't what she would normally do but is curling on her pillow. Her surgical bandage is running parallel to her spine and on the back of her neck so not really even visible. An icepack laying around her neck for muscle pain and a small grenade size clear drain coming out of her surgical site. No swollen eyes, face, hands, etc. She really does look just like LeeLee.

Nurse just left after removing the catheter so the plan now will be up to bedside commode while in ICU and later woohoo....undergarments. A typical LeeLee crack when the nurse offered to find some hospital underwear that was probably not so fun but definitely serve the purpose, LeeLee laughs and says "funderwear, no I brought mine and I will just wait for now".

I wish each of you could be here to see how great she looks, but until then, we will certainly share on this blog what we can. Until later
