Here is the update from the ICU unit of Shands hospital this morning.
Alyson had a very good night, getting much needed sleep for two hours at a time between visits from the nurse.
They have given her a heating pad for her back, to help with the pain and discomfort she is feeling there.
They took out the catheter this morning.
The fluid draining from her head is looking very clear this morning, and in fact you have to look twice to see it. Before you had no problem seeing it. So that is a very good sign.
Right now she is sleeping comfortably. So is her mother who spent the night at the hospital with her.
The heating pad is actually some sort of water filled device, with a heater and a pump constantly circulating the water to the pad under her back. Sitting here in the darkness of her room, it sounds like a stream flowing here. Very soothing sounds to sleep by.
Things are going very well. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. Cards have arrived at camp for her, and she will read those today. She has been on facebook, and enjoys reading the posts on her wall there. I will update again later today.
