Kelly has had a better afternoon. She has eaten small bites of grilled cheeze, some soup and some apple sauce. She has been taken off the pain medicine pump and transitioned to pills. This has resulted in increasing her blood pressure back to normal, and elimating some of the dizziness and nausea she was experiencing. She has sat up several times today and walked about 30 yards or so. This afternoon I also learned that they didn't remove the portion of her brain that controls her temper, but that is another story.
We have learned there are seven other Chiari patients here at the hospital. I met the husband of a woman who had the surgery the day before Kelly had hers. He only had positive things to say about The Chiairi Institute and the doctors here.

Thanks for the update. Don had just walked in to see if we had one. You'll probably pay for the "temper" comment later. :) Guess she's entitled though. One more day forward. Love to all.
This is great news - I love knowing she is progressing as scheduled. Thank for the info. Charlie how are you and Marilyn holding up? Is Kelly able to read blog yet, answer email or talk?
Thank you Charlie for the updates. Please give Kelly and Marilyn my love and PLEASE take care of yourself.
