Hole in head

Scott commented on my blog that the incision was actually pretty big and had 8 staples. Heather had it cleaned out and repaired on Thursday. When they got to the emergency room scott filled out all the paperwork for Heather and under the line that asks what is your complaint/why are you there he wrote "hole in head." Heather did great, they had trouble sedating her but she was drowsy enough that they ended up doing local anasthesia to the area and cleaning and sewing it up. She did not remember anything. I came from work just in time to meet Scott and my dad as they were going up to her room to see her. She was discharged at 1:00 that afternoon. They are tapering off her steroids and put her on some antibiotics. She was able to see her favorite ICU nurse Jacob while she was there. Scott went and told him Heather would like to see him. The last time he saw Heather she was not moving her arms very well, could not feed herself or get out of bed, and was not as alert as she is now. Heather will the neurosurgeon tuesday at 1200 and then see her oncologist. If the neurosurgeon says it is ok to start chemo she will start that day.
