Em updates:
12:20 We ended up stalled on I70 but finally arrived. Because of her age, she gets an IV before going in and she was not happy about that but they did give her some calming meds. She is currently waiting to go back, which will be very soon. Surgery will be 4 hours. Halo will go on first then they will remove all of her hardware.
1:15 She has gone back.
2:10 She is sleeping and they are starting. Halo will be first.
4:05 Dr. Luhmann came out to visit. They are doing stitches. They removed everything and didn't find any surprises. She will have a would vac for a week to help her heal faster. They will call us back when she starts waking up.
7:30 She has finally been moved to a room. Having lots of trouble with muscle spasms so they have given her quite a bit of meds. She is very sleepy. She finally woke up enough to do her breathing exercises, wiggle her toes and drank some water. Her first question was, "How much (hair) did he cut off?"
Day after:
Em has been up eating and using the bathroom. She has 5 lbs of weight on and is walking in the walker already. She visited PT and talked with the dietitian, otherwise she had a sleepy, resting day.
