48 hours after surgery

Toren is resting, in a deeply drugged sleep. It is almost 11pm on Thursday night... we are back on the Epilepsy floor - in the same 4 bed nurse monitored unit as last time. We are in the other window corner. The doctors are working diligently to stop the endless seizures... to quieten the brain and in essence let is reset - much like rebooting a computer. This team of doctors and nurses are amazing, the open interactions, the questioning of the situation, the willingness to explore all the options, the humility is awe inspiring. Even while the doctors remain very concerned, I feel this sense that we are walking the right path... he looks to healthy and strong... all his vital signs are perfect, and yes it is alarming that the seizures remain so out of control. So fear or faith, it is a choice, I choose faith.
We have come so far,

  1. So the seizures are just occurring in his brain right now and his body is resting?

    And the reboot comment made me giggle. Right up his alley for sure. Hehe.

    ..., keep on coming!
