Still in PICU

Kyrie's surgery went without complication yesterday. Such a relief. The end of her cerebral drainage tube was clogged (with proteins? scar tissue?), so the surgeon cut off the end, fitted the tube with a new tip and thread the tube back through Kyrie's body. She is not on a ventilator but has an oxygen mask close by to keep her O2 level up, which has dropped every now and then. Technicians took a chest X-ray, and everything looked fine.

She still hasn't woken from yesterday's procedure. A few small, mild seizures yesterday. A little mumbling "mamma" and "dadda" and reaching for the hoses around her chest, but she hasn't fully snapped out of it yet. And that's okay for now. Rest heals.

There's talk of doing that ever-elusive MRI tomorrow. Depends on how today goes. After she comes out of PICU, she'll likely still be in the hospital a few days for monitoring.

Thank you for continuing to be with Kyrie, Lacie & Jordan through this, especially during the last 48 hours.
