Holly was just moved into the adult medical surgery unit, they call it the 6500 unit. She is in a semi private room and I have requested for a private room so I can stay in the room at night with her, but priority is given to those with medical needs. This was the first bed available in the 6500 unit that we just moved into. She had four of seven IVs removed, lost all the monitors except blood oxygen and pulse rate, and they removed the catheter. She is basically in la la land from the pain meds, she has had ice chips and orange juice. I will be happy when the drain tubes in the head can be removed. Still no bruising or swelling because of those drains though. They say she is progressing exactly as expected. Freeman and Ann just left to return to Vero to take care of the children. It is just me, Holly, and you amazing blog readers out there for the next three or four days. Holly is aware of how many of you have visited the blog and is very thankful for your love. I have become aquainted with other patient's families who have had the same procedure today. Interesting they all had headaches as well and were blessed to have the aneurysms fixed before they ruptured. Funny the doctors all insist mild headaches and other symptoms have nothing to do with the aneurysm.

Thanks for keeping us posted, Cortney! There are many believers in ABQ praying for your guys. I know you will be a blessing to the other families in the hospital as well!

That is really interesting that they said headaches have nothing to do with the aneurysm.
