This is the Valentine's Day report on our Shermie. The Doctor just left and was encouraged by her progress. He examined the incision and said it looked great and told her she could wash her hair today. (Excitement reigned!! She is rather unhappy about having the front part of her hair shaved, but I pointed out--shaved head temporarily versus brain tumor??? no contest!)
She got out of bed several times yesterday, and her speech and processing abilities are improving each hour. Those efforts do take a lot out of her, however, so we continue to keep her on a limited visiting schedule.
They just brought her breakfast of scrambled eggs, muffin and some cereal and she attacked it mercilessly!! Another good sign. They are still talking of putting her into some intensive physical and speech therapy at a separate unit they have here at Mayo. They will evaluate her later today or tomorrow for that. I think that would be a good idea, so she can feel more confident about her abilities once she gets back home.
Once again--thanx for all your prayers and well wishes on her behalf!!
