Sarah's Team:
More good news from our Gold Medal Contestant:
Sarah had a procedure yesterday in the OR to replace her shunt. It was not an emergency, but the good Docs detected that it wasn't working properly on Thursday, so in she went. She handled the procedure well and a short while later she was in recovery. Evidently, this is something that can happen quite frequently with these devices, and in the scheme of things it doesn't sound like it is too hard for the Docs to do.
I just spoke to Brigid and she senses a greater awareness, connection, and communication with Sarah since the surgery. Although she is not fully awake yet and we don't know when that time will come, she is doing well neurologically. Yes!
Next up on the docket, to be scheduled, is the removal of a venus filter (clot prevention), and her trach - both implanted at Danville. Both of these steps will mark new milestones toward her recovery and Mark and Brigid are excited about that. More mobility, including trips to the recreation area, and more work on speech will be facilitated by these procedures.
So our superstar is moving forward and doing her part. They are having a nice weekend with Sarah and she is resting now. Sarah Go!
UJ.
