Day 3

Well, we may have gotten a bit ahead of ourselves.
All went very well today. Laura was able to get cleaned up, which was a very welcoming experience at that surgery. She was talkative and in good spirits. We even had PT scheduled to come by and go for a walk. That changed in the early evening.
We are not sure what happened, but Laura started to feel strange. Tiny tremors in her hand and a spasm-like movement in her face. She actually said she felt like she was having some kind of seizure. At that point, she became unresponsive.
The team intubated her again and made sure she was stable. A CT scan has not shown anything conclusive. She is currently on EEG and will likely have an MRI tomorrow. All of her functions were excellent immediately before this happened. Very, very scary.
She is responsive now and appears to be resting well. Hopefully, we can determine the cause and move on. Impressive to see the Duke team in action. Hopefully, we do not need them to show those skills again. But very reassuring.
I am looking forward to posting a positive update tomorrow.
Again, that you for all the well wishes and thoughts. Greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
