We're now settled in to the ICU, Adam is resting and/or sleeping, and Brian has headed back to the Ronald McDonald House for the night. It has been a full day, and we are all fairly worn out. Adam did great during the surgery, and is starting to feel a little more normal as the effects of the anesthesia are dwindling. He was able to manage a few sips of water, which is his first intake of much of anything in over 24 hours. Later he may even be able to branch out to some other liquids...life is good!
Tomorrow we will most likely be moved to the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit--same place we spent a week last summer as they hope to catch seizures with the newly placed electrode grid. Depending on how quickly they can capture the needed data, the follow-up surgery will take place as early as Thursday or Friday. We will then likely stay on-site another 3-5 days following the second surgery. Home still seems a long way off, but having this first surgery behind us is a huge landmark!
We will be keeping you posted on the progress over the next few days.
Once again, I want to make sure that everyone knows how important it has been for us to know how many people have been pulling for Adam and the whole family as we move through this adventure. Knowing that you were sending your love and your thoughts and your prayers during the day helped in ways that I cannot fully express. You are all very much appreciated!
I'm going to sign off for tonight, and promise to get back to some additional (and promised!) information such as the brain quiz and additional Fort Worth activities. With sincere love, affection, and appreciation,
the Kaney's
