Zoe is stable. She is in the PICU. Her CT scan was clear. By the time Dr. Hopper closed up her skull her brain was soft and pulsating as it should be doing--not hard and angry as it was when they first opened her up.
Hopper's face looked so happy and relieved when he came into talk to us--it was good medicine for us. We had been paged for him to come talk to us; we didn't know what to expect. I was preparing myself for anything. The sight of his face put years back on my life.
It's not even close to being over--she still has 3 days of sedation to go through, and then after that, who knows? Her risk of infection is higher than the usual craniosynostosis surgery patient. Her osteopetrotic bones may not heal as they should.
But.
We shall cross those bridges as we come to them.

I am so thinking about your family. I want to call that number at the hospital. The "need" word stops me. I love you all.
