She came round quickly and ate a double cheeseburger and milkshake (as you do after being starved for over 24hours!)
And shortly after that unfortunately had a seizure. A long seizure. The staff were all ready to give emergency meds but we discouraged them and she started coming out at 5 minutes.
Her head was still weeping a little so neither of us slept well, on and off all night. At 6.30 she had another 5 minute seizure and then about an hour later another minute.
They have said she can stay on ward another day so we can all keep an eye on her.
We always knew this surgery was only for investigation but it is a bit of a shock that the seizures are back with such vengeance. To be totally honest I am tired of it all. I just wish she didnt have to face this every day.
On another note however I just want to highlight the amazing team that we have had around Imogen this week. From Mr Walsh the consultant to all the neuro surgical team, to anaesthetists, to Darren and the neurophysiology team, to Alia the ward sister in ward 10 and all her amazing nursing team, to Emma the play worker, to Karen and Lou the amazing housekeepers on the ward that put everyone at ease. Everyone has been amazing, caring, helpful and kind. Yes, yesterday was a bit tough on Immi with the wait around for theatre but to get it in perspective, she was bumped because they needed to do potentially life having surgery on a baby. Can't complain about that!
