Thursday Pensacola 1.1
Thursday Pensacola 1.1
Malinda’s neurosurgeon and her nurse practitioner just left the room. The neurosurgeon seems most pleased with M’s progress and condition. She said that because there is still much accumulated blood in on and around the brain and pressuring, that she has decided to wait an additional day and do the clip (this is the through the skull procedure) on Wednesday instead of Tuesday. This is for added safety, and will allow that much more time for the blood to continue dissipating. She said that at this time she expects M to be able to leave the hospital for home a few days after the surgery, in good shape, needing neither physical therapy nor special medication.
This from the desolating edge of death to promise and hope.
Our watchword for this adventure, given to us by the ER physician at GulfCoastPC, is “God moves in mysterious ways.” A few minutes ago the hospital chaplain (she is UMC) was in for a visit. I told her “God is good,” and she responded with the right password, “All the time.”
Words cannot describe my feelings of relief as I write this.
