Saturdays still have PT & OT, just half as much. Schoolwork will be thrown in the mix next week. Sandra reports that she, Lauren and their roommates Lauren (mom) and Marissa slept through the night with no interruption. The new room is great, looks like a spacious college dorm room with its own HC accessible bathroom.
They had a tentative release date on Friday of April 13th. My guess is sooner, as I would think they would throw out a conservative estimate. A 6-hour pass to leave the hospital is scheduled for next weekend.
Lauren is still having vision issues, probably related to the inflamed optic nerves. The Ophthalmologist is scheduled for Monday. Our friend Carley, the PICU nurse is also friends with the neurosurgical fellow Mike. She said, he said (I love that) that they (the neurosurgeons) feel they got all the bad stuff and are 75% confident these seizures are not epileptic. She has not been having seizures, but she is on medication, including a new one (Phenobarbital) which sometimes presents with a "honeymoon" seizure free period of 6-8 weeks. They are going to start weaning her off of her Zonagran though. So, back to chemistry for dummies, but we are making forward progress.
Happy spring everyone.
