Evening, May 8

(e-mail from B. Parady)

A quiet day today. She slept with very normal and steady vitals today, no storms, no fevers and all is well. There was no surgery because of an infection. The white count went to normal today and the urinary tract infection seemed to be clearing. Her yeast infection was also cleared.

Infectious disease came by and basically cleared her for surgery tomorrow. We met the surgeon earlier, and he seemed to be taking a conservative path, ready to go forward. He will be cutting all her hair unlike St Vincents which let it clump.

He was not concerned about her swelling and felt that putting the prosthetic flap would take care of the swelling. He indicated that there was little likelihood of Sabina needing a shunt with the new flap perhaps clearing things up.

So little activity today, a resting day, and we face tomorrow with the likelihood of surgery.

Our prayers are for Sabina's continued strengthening and the surgeon having an easy time getting everything just right whenever it happens.
