Sorry it took me so long to update the blog. We came home on Monday, 1-17-11. Since we've been home, we have been very busy getting acclimated to being home again.
She is doing very well, the incision looks good, her appetite is picking up now that she's home, and her balance is steadily improving each day.
She's very annoyed with us sometimes because we constantly have to guard her from falling and bumping her head.....which is very annoying and limiting for her ( and us ) but it's in her best interests. Hopefully, that part we'll only need to worry about for 6-8 weeks, until the skull heals. We have to watch her for seizure activity too, because they informed us that she could have seizures post-op just from the surgery itself, for up to 3 months. Thank God above, none so far. I was saying that to someone today and she overheard me say she hadn't had any seizures yet.....and her response was "Mom ( in a very sarcastic tone ), That's why I had the surgery....." You could almost hear the "Duh", but she didn't actually say it....you could see it her eyes though!
Overall, things are going well and we are very blessed because she is acting more and more like herself everyday. She still has some recovery time to go, but she's well on her way.
The next update will be after her follow-up appointments on Monday, 1-24-11, with the neurologist and neurosurgeon.
Thanks, for the hundredth time, for everyone's love and concern.
