Gabby was up and ready to go around 7:00 this morning. She was a bit cranky until she received her Tylenol and then she was ready for walks and wagon rides. Gabby’s walking is much more steady today. She no longer wants to hold my hand for balance and she has actually tried to run a couple of times.

The MRI from the other day looks “perfect” according to Dr. Weiner. He stated that all of the tissue was completely removed and if that was the cause then we shouldn’t see any more seizures. Gabby’s JP drain is still in place and we are waiting for the drainage to become very scant and clear before pulling it out. Dr. Weiner wants to drain as much of the serosanguinous fluid as possible to reduce the risk of hydrocephalus. He shared that a large amount of debris in the CSF can “clog” the flow of spinal fluid in the brain. We plan to pull the drain tomorrow and then wait one more day to see if there is any leaking from the wound.

At this point it is looking like we may be discharged Saturday. There is debate over whether to complete one more overnight EEG once the drain is pulled to see if everything looks normal electrically. I need to speak with Dr. Devinsky more about this.

Thanks for continuing to walk beside us on this journey.
We pray Gabby’s recovery will continue to go well and I’ll update as she progresses.

Love,
Kelly
