Hello Everybody
Today has been a long day, just got back from Andrea's bedside. This morning we were there at 8 because they were going to wake her up, they shut off the anesthetic and tried waking her but not successful. Something told me that this was not working well, she was quite anxious and not too responsive to commands. She started jerking and twitching and about 2 she had a seizure. they quickly responded and increased sedation and gave her anti seizure meds and moved her down for an emergency CT scan, they were concerned that she might be bleeding in her head, but the scan results were good. She likely seizured because of too much medication on board of various kinds. Around 8 they turned off the sedation and started waking her up again, this time it seemed to work. She responded to commands, like"squeeze my hand", etc. She was a lot more peaceful and natural looking when we left. I think she will have a good night of sleep, they were going to give her pain medication and something to relax her and make her sleep. Tomorrow if all goes well and if she can breathe completely on her own, they will extubate her and have her completely awake. Time to get some sleep. Until tomorrow night, adios.
Thanks, Maynard
