The Neurosurgeon stuck his head in for all of 2.5 seconds and just told Tim and the nurses that her MRI looked fine. Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am. So they are now working on getting her ready for transfer.
They took out her arterial line in her hand and were going to take out her central line later this afternoon. She is one step closer to being tube free.
She still has the chest tube and they said that she would until tomorrow at the earliest but seemed to indicate that there was no problem with her transferring with it in.
Her lunch came and she had some lovely apple flavored protein shake thing called Alive. She didn't quite say that it tasted bad she just told my mom she wanted to get it over with and she drank it all down. Then she had a glass of tea and some of her broth. I think she was just happy to be able to eat something on her own.
After lunch she was pretty wiped out so she pushed her button and was taking a nap when I came back out to the waiting room.
Overall this has been a very positive day for Lindsay and every hour is one hour closer to her getting better.
