Kyra's spinal surgery took about 5 hours yesterday; she was in the OR for about 7 hours total. Her new back is beautiful!
Since then, she has been in the ICU, trying to manage pain and muscle spasms without surpressing her breathing too much. A pretty tricky feat when you're already on seizure medication.
She also had a bit of a fever, and some gunky chest stuff that we've been working on getting rid of.
The hospital staff is superb, though, and extremely attentive. Kyra is in very gifted and compassionate hands.
Dr. Christa, Curtis, Celia, and Grandma Joan are here with us today. Along with a couple of thunderstorms.
She's doing much better this afternoon, so maybe she'll have to leave this ICU room with a great view of Forest Park, and onto the regular floor tomorrow.
Peace.
