[/caption]Ellie's heart rate has gone down to the 140s today (we are shooting for 130 at the highest). She has better been able to stay awake since we increased her steroids (your body naturally produces more steroids during times of stress, since Ellie is not producing steroids we have to provide her with stress doses of steroids when necessary.) EEG (that's the one that measure electrical activity from your brain with electrodes glued to your head) showed NO seizure activity, but lots of slower waves (delta) and irritation in the left hemisphere (typical after brain surgery). No talk of going home, yet.
