Evening, May 19

(e-mail from B. Parady)

A day of heavy sedation. She was groggy with a low (45) heart rate early in the day, and now the heart rate is just below 60. She smiled at Shelly a couple of times. They drained her spinal fluid to reduce swelling. They will likely let the swelling increase tomorrow night to give the surgeon a better target when the shunt is installed on Monday. Today it looks certain for the shunt.

On the feeding side, Sabina is up to 25/hour and they are increasing it slowly because of the vomiting that took place before.

My prayers go out to Sabina for her steady recovery, and to Shelly who is bearing the load of being with Sabina.
