Friday the 13th--a midday update

Ella is keeping up with her part of the bargain because she already had a seizure this morning. And it was left-sided as hoped/expected. We don't know any more specifics about exactly where in the brain just yet.

Dr. Asano wants to capture at least one more of her seizures before determining the exact location and resuming her meds.

If I had to pinpoint her mood, I'd say Ella is forlorn. She can talk but is mostly choosing not to. She denies pain and denies anything to eat or drink too. I think it's hard because she doesn't really understand what's happening to her.

We made it to a regular room just a little while ago. Corie will get to stay with us during the day now. So I'm a happy momma.

So we have until next Wednesday (when the 2nd surgery is scheduled) to capture at least two seizures and we're already halfway there.
