4-9-09 Doc Visit
Dr. just visited (3:30), her exam went well – he said the MRI shows some small parts of left over tumor, we will discuss radiation options – but it will be in future. Her right eye is still too swelled to determine anything and may be 1 week before exam of eye by neuro optho. She complains of head pain (from surgery) and jaw pain (from muscle being cut and pulled back) Overall she is doing VERY WELL. She is a trooper, she has eaten and went to the rest room – she is on too many meds to list. Because she is progressing so quickly she may be released sunday??? They send them home a.s.a.p. for better recovery, scary to me. I suggest anyone that was planning to send something to the hospital that you may want to send it to the home instead – not knowing how long she may actually be here and she is still in PICU 2 with no room number. Recovery at home will be long and involve many trips back to Ann Arbor. The traveling bedside music just came to her room and played/sang two songs that Andrea actually moved her lips to the words and smiled best she could – the only other smile we have seen is when grammy and grampa came into the room today. We now need to search for a apple fritter craving, will update if anything changes. Thanks for your inquiry.
