We have seen Holly and she knew us. She was in alot of pain and had a morphine shot and some anti-nausea medicine. She is in and out of sleep. We were alot shocked when we entered the room and there were no bandages or wraps. It was definately not what we expected.

The nurses say she is doing exactly as expected and is properly alert and responsive. Every hour they will quiz her to test her mental state. They say by tomorrow they will have her out of bed and sitting up. Usually within 24 hours is when they will move Holly out of neurosurgery intensive care.

This neurosurgery intensive care unit is an incredible department, there must be 30 or so rooms and all are filled with people with brain issues. We are again reminded how thankful we are to have found this before it ruptured. Many families in this units waiting room have been here for days and even weeks. They are sleeping and living in the waiting room with belongings spread all over. Most are here for ruptured aneurysms and everyone has a story which landed their love ones in here for extended periods of time.

I put a counter on the website to see how many people actually visited this blog. There were 425 visitors today. I am humbled and thank you for all of your love, prayers, and support.

Praise God! We are so thankful Holly is doing as expected and that the surgery went well. We thank God for guiding the doctors to find the aneurysm early. Your kids are all doing well. We look forward to your safe return home.
