From the beginning, the surgeons told us to expect swelling. I always assumed they meant face or head. Well, this morning, Allyson was not responding well to commands and the neuro exams. The commands are about "who's president?" I suggested asking "who's still in American Idol?" if they wanted her to get it right.
They did a csan and found what they call a "mass." From what I get from the explanation, it is slight swelling inside. This is not abnormal except that Allyson was very alert all day yesterday then went downhill late last night. the plan is to watch her till 2:00 pm and do another csan. Check the difference and go from there. The neuro checks are happening every hour instead of every 4 hours.
The long and short is she is not doing want they hoped for surgically. So we step back and fix that first then move forward with the rest. Allyson is a very determined young women who wanted this procedure very much, maybe more than her parents. She's a fighter. she will do well.
More to come.
God bless.
