Neurosurgeons vs the Neurologists

She went into surgery at 3 pm. Later than we anticipated. She spent too long in the PACU (Pre-op staging area), about 1.5 hours. Don't know why, maybe they had a prior surgery that took longer than anticipated. It made Lauren anxious though. It's better to be the first case.

Dr. Storm presented us with a revised surgical plan. A scaled down version of the full resection. He felt it would take care of all the hot spots and reduce the impact on her mobility. Who are we to argue with these guys? It's the Neurosurgeons vs the Neurologists. Both are acting in our best interests but they are coming at it from differnt directions. Now that I think about it, Dr. Storm is going in there prepared to do the maximum, but as he resects, he will start small and work his way up. They have micro sensors all over the place, so as he resects, he can track functional loss. At this point, I'm on the Neurosurgeon's team.

We are supposed to go to the PICU after this. Rumor had it that we may end up in a double room and as far as I can tell all the doubles are on 7 east. Spencer died on 7 east back when it was the Oncology floor. We are lobbying to avoid going there at all costs.

I need to go running, everyone's getting on my nerves.
