Sorry I have been slow blogging today. I want to give at least a daily update. Today has been much better. The new nausea medicine she took yesterday helped dramatically with the nausea but has a side effect of drowsiness. So I had to wake her up regularly today to exercise and eat. She was really groggy. We walked up the street a few driveways and back twice today. She is still not hungry but ate three meals, about a fouth of what she would normally eat, but she ate and did not have nausea. I have felt so sorry for her, she has never had nausea even close to this level before. She never had morning sickness with pregnancies so she doesnt know how this would compare.

Today was the first day she could get the incision wet so she took a shower and then I helped clean some of the gunk from her hair and dried blood from around the incision. It looks much better. I think the doctor used neosporin as a hair gel to push her unshaven hair back away from her forehead and then it dried. It will take a while to get it all out. She had a fever of 100.5 tonight but it went back down. We are to call the doc if it exceeds 101. Please pray for continued protection from infection.

I certainly see that the recovery is going to be a slow steady process and it is going to take time to get back to normal. Before surgery, the doc said to expect about a month to be back to normal, I now see that it could take that long. This is nothing compared to if it had ruptured though. We were also told that the brain would do weird things in healing, she has experienced the first weird sensations today. Nerves fire and send tingling sensations down her face, neck, and her fingers feel tingly sometimes. She is also hearing some sloshing noises in her head. This too we were told may occur but will go away with time. Please pray for continued healing over the next weeks and for these sensations to be minimal and not last for a long time.
