Update

Maggie had the MEG test today and the surgeon is confident he will be able to remove the area causing the seizures! The surgery is scheduled for Wednesday at 7:30am. Please be praying during that time!

In the meantime, Mags is unhooked from her wires leaving her more room to roam!

No wires! Yay! 

Fresh air...kind of. 

Keeping busy! 

One more thing--A special thank you to new friends, with LOTS in common, for the beautiful gift! 

Good news!

Maggie had a large seizure this morning lasting about two minutes. The nurses were in the room within seconds proving Maggie is in great hands!

Dr. Wheless came in after her seizure and had great news! The seizures are all coming from the same place in Maggie's brain--this means they should be able to take care of everything during the big surgery on Wednesday.

She still has the MEG test scheduled for tomorrow morning, but she will not have to be sedated. After the test they will be able to unhook the wires from the top of her head and she will be mobile. Yay!

The surgery is still scheduled for Wednesday and he said they will keep her for 3-4 days after, so we are hoping she will get to go home Saturday. Patty changed her flight to go home Friday night.

Maggie is sleeping now. And another thing (as Mags always says) Dr. Wheless said it is her job to take care of number one and number two today!

Moving to the sofa is way more comfy! 

Playing Words With Friends with Matthew to pass the time.

Thank you!

So many of you have showered Maggie and our family with prayer and gifts. We cannot thank you enough! It means so much.

Update

Mags slept most of the day after breakfast. Her leg has been hurting some where they did the wada test. It's bruised from the cath.

She's been playing Words With Friends most of the afternoon. Only two pain pills today--5 am and 3:30 pm.

Mom tried to get her up to potty and she said, "It's Saturday! I thought all we had to do today was lay around and rest."

Ha!

A little freedom

Mags is finally able to get up and sit in a chair beside her bed--she can walk as far as her cords will let her. She can make it to the bathroom now, which is great! But she still can't leave the room or anything.

MEG test

Maggie's MEG test (she has to have this before they can do the second part of the surgery) is scheduled for 10am on Monday.

This means the second part of surgery will be Wednesday. At this point we have no idea how long recovery will be--all depends on how well she responds to everything.

update

Maggie had another MRI this afternoon and Dr. Wheless says he is getting great information from the grid and the two small seizures she's had. He is hoping he has enough by Monday to go ahead with the second part of the surgery. That would be great!

She had her first meal post surgery today--1/2 slice of banana bread Nana sent with her! It hurts her to eat so that's all she was able to get down.

She is able to get up and go to the bathroom, but it takes 3 nurses just to carry all of the wires coming from her head!

She's been playing Words with Friends too. If you'd like to play her, she's magsterneu : - )

More info soon! Thanks everyone!
