Tuesday 8/20

We had a much better night last night. Imogen (and mom) slept very well for long periods.

They're beginning to ween her off the morphine now that's it's been over 36 hours since the surgery. Her bandages look great. 

A couple of updates:

1. Surgeon came by and said he got a look at the MRI results. He got a big chunk out, so there shouldn't be much pressure on the spine. However, it's still wrapped around the nerves, so time will tell if she'll still have difficulty walking. "Time will tell," he says. 

He is gone most of the day, but he'll be back late afternoon to show us the images. 

2. Speaking of that, she's supposed to have physical therapy today to help get her moving about. Pray she's not scared. 

3. Also pray that Imogen doesn't develop any sort of issues from bed rest. She has a pretty bad cough that could develop into pneumonia if she doesn't start moving around. 

4. She slept great, but has also had a pretty high fever come and go. Pray it stays down and she can be comfy.  

5. Lastly, we should have the report from the pathologist today, and we'll know if parts of the tumor are malignant.
