Day 100- November 27th: Discharged!

Image
Today has been such a blessing! Dad was discharged from Upstate and has returned to "Castleview"!!! 🥳🥳🥳  Dad did well on the drive and made it home before any snow storms! 😀 Thank you for your prayers!!  The JP drain was removed from his head yesterday as the drainage had essentially resolved and met criteria for removal. 🙌 A not so comfortable experience but  made it through! Thankful to have his dad there for support during the removal and got a few extra stitches as part of this process. Repeat CT scan was good!  Yesterday had more opportunities to get out of bed and visit with family. Pain had overall been well managed with Tylenol for 24hrs plus. Today, got clearance to shower and had incision cleaned. Learned how to care for the incision and signs to monitor for infection/complications. Plan for follow up in 2wks with neurosurgery to have stitches removed. Dad reports already feeling an overall improvement in mood and feeling "more normal"!🙌❤  Must s...

The Lord  not only saved me but has gone ahead and continued the healing process in me. Today was a big outing for me. Amy and Mikayla took me to my follow up appointment with the neurosurgeon, and others, including a CT scan. Everyone was happy and impressed with my brain's healing progress. Personally, I had never seen the "before surgery scan" so I was pretty shocked at all the damage that had been done. We were all excited by all the positive comments from the neurosurgery team. They were quite frank about the timeline for the next move. We were told that discussions for the repair, cranioplasty, don't normally even start until the patient is at least 3 months out from th...
