And then there's the not sleeping...

So Ellie has not had much sleep over the past 2 days (which means neither has Thom).  Yesterday she would fall asleep for 5-10 minutes then awaken ready to read again.  I did a LOT of reading.  I just sat down to blog while Ellie was asleep and she once again woke up to tell me it is time to start reading again.  She did get her head "turban" or bandage off this morning.  Let's just say they did not concern themselves with styling the hair after brain surgery.  Her heart rate has been a bit wonky this morning.  It should be in the 80 (resting) - 120 range.  Right now she is sitting at 59 and then when she falls asleep it drops below 50 which sets the alarm off, waking her up again.  Highly mysterious, everyone is keeping an eye on it but all of her other numbers look good so there seems to be no plausible explanation.  We are being stepped down to 4th floor status today which basically means we no longer need a nurse all to ourselves, there is not however a room for us to move into on the 4th floor (out of the PICU) until probably tomorrow.  That's the update for now.   Brittany is here to take over reading duty so I can go get myself some food.
