Feb. 7th, 2009 02:35 amEven more progress!
Jeff went in first tonight, and when getting the update from her nurse, asked if the doctors had a chance to review the results of the sleep study. She said she'd talk to the doctor and find out. He was purely zonked this evening, and came out before he saw the doctor. I went in and was spending time with the very sleeping Charlie when the doc came in. Poor guy was slightly confused, as he'd been told Jeff was asking and found me there instead.
Anyway, they were all (I have no idea how many doctors are in on this) very pleased with the results of the study. First off, there won't be any surgery at this time. *happy dance*
She has some apnea coming from her brain (he said something like "minimal" but I can't remember the exact wording) and some obstruction apnea (that's the periform aperture stenosis). They've currently got her on "a very small amount of oxygen" mixed with room air and they're ramping down the steroids they had her on to reduce the swelling in her nose.
And, *AND*, they're transporting her back to Winchester. I'm not exactly sure why they're not just giving her to us, but she'll be that much closer to going home (as well as that much closer *to* home). They'll probably do that Monday, maybe Tuesday. The doc said he'd gotten the ball rolling, so we'll see how long it takes to roll.
So, that's the news that's fit to type right now. It isn't everything we wanted, but it *is* damn close.
