Surgery Went Great

I just got the call that Amanda is out of her surgery. The surgeon said it went as well as could be hoped. It appears that Amanda had no brain functionality on the left side. Thus, it appears that her right brain had already started taking on some of the left brain activities. They believe her right brain may have been operating her right side movements, which means she may not have lost them!

Amanda will experience some swelling the next few days, and she will probably have a fever for 3 to 5 days. This is part of the healing process. She should be in the ICU for the next 5 to 7 days.

Thanks for all of your prayers to date. Please pray for continued recovery. Heather
