I was able to bust Judi out of the hospital today and both of us were glad to be back home. It is great to see my girl with a "round head" again and you can tell she already feels better. We will go back in a couple of weeks to have a follow up CT scan and check the incision to ensure it is healing well. The prosthesis was a perfect fit for her and there is very little swelling. Judi did have a series of three seizures during the day of surgery (none of them severe). The Drs were not overly concerned due to level of activity she had been exposed to and the severity. There was actually some discussion that it may be a positive sign that her brain activity had increased, but in the end, no one knows for sure.
The plan now is to let her heal for a couple of weeks and then hopefully get her back into outpatient rehab. I am hopeful that she will gain ground quickly and get back to where she was before we had to remove the bone flap this summer. Whether quick or slow, as long as she continues to gain ground it will be a huge success.
I'm going to keep this one short since I am just about out of gas for the day. Although this was a short stay, neither of us seemed to get any rest. I'll update as changes occur and thanx from the bottom of my heart for all of the prayers.

Best of luck to you and Judi as you enter yet another phase of this unbelievable journey. We continue to be awed and inspired by the love and dedication you both have for each other. Judi has always been a fighter and there is no reason to belive she won't fight her way through this. You are always in our prayers and never far from our thoughts.
