Better Day Today

After the seizures yesterday morning, Kenzie went back to ICU for a while and was on some serious anti-convulsants. She slept most of the day. She spent the night in the ICU. She did all her therapy this morning and played with one of the healing dogs. She is still just a little loopy from the anti-seizure drugs. But she is talking plenty and making sense! She is still on two anti-seizure drugs, but not the one that makes her high. She will probably be on an anti-seizure drug for about 6 months after getting out of here... just to be safe. They were not able to pin down exactly why she had seizures, but it wasn't increased pressure on the brain, blood clots, or anything really serious... probably just a little complication from brain surgery and a combination of little things coming together.

Carson got to come down and visit Kenzie today. She was so happy to see him she cried. He hung out for several hours. They watched movies and went out to a little carnival at the PCH playground. Channel 12 is doing a Give-A-Thon here (the carnival was part of that). This place is crawling with celebrities and athletes. Kenzie actually was interviewed live on TV during the 5:00 news. Over the past 3 years she's become a regular on the TV. She could have a career possibility there... anything that involves talking a lot would be a good possibility. So, now that the seizure episodes are hopefully behind us, we are back to occupational therapy, physical therapy, and all the other therapies twice a day now. She is working to get strong so she can get out of here. If we need to do anything with the shunt, that will be several weeks from now and would most likely be just a couple days in the hospital.
