Good Night Baby Sister

So I just got home from a super long day at the hospital, we arrived at Stanford at 5:15AM! We were able to see her from 9-9:30PM and again at 10PM. During the 9:00 visiting period she was doing pretty well, actually complaining of being hot, which is hard to believe, she is ALWAYS freezing! She is very thirsty and was begging for ice chips and water but even a little ice chip made her sick. The procedure cut her vestibule nerve which is the balance nerve on the left side. Her brain is currently trying to compensate and it usually takes 2-4 days to get that sorted out so in the mean time she is on anti-nausea medication. Unfortunately it seems that she has lost the hearing in her left ear. She says it is really weird to not be able to hear out of that ear. Even after almost 10 hours of surgery she looked beautiful! When she smiles both sides of her mouth curve up indicating that the facial nerve is still in tact. This is all good.

Her ICU nurse Dona was great and Adri seems to be in good hands. We only stayed a short while during the last visiting period because they gave her some Valium and she was so tired. She sent us home to sleep in our own beds and we will be back in the morning for the next round of visiting hours.

This was a really long day for all of us so I hope everyone gets some good sleep tonight knowing that our brave Adri did remarkably well and is now tumor free!

Good Night Baby Sister.
Good Night Everyone.
And THANK YOU!
