Post Surgery - Day One
Post surgery has been somewhat of a challenge...
Alyssa's fine motor function on the right side of her body isn't back yet and it is causing her much frustration. As part of the to-be-expected recovery process, her brain is swelling and the eye on the left side of her face is completely swollen shut. The swelling should begin to recede in the next couple of days. She is currently still in the Surgical ICU where she will likely spend another night.
They doctors did want her to have another MRI this morning but despite much sedation, Alyssa was NOT having it! She is very strong willed...
Your prayers, good thoughts, holding in the light, chanting, mantras etc. are working (keep them coming) and my girl will walk out of the hospital this weekend.
6/3 @ 6:50 PM: Although not yet controlled, Alyssa got her brain to move both her arm and her leg, both great signs... she will try for another MRI tomorrow
