Day 2-post op

Mac gave his nighttime nurse quite the send off this morning. During his hourly neurology check she noticed his eyes were off to the right a and he would not look when his name was called or respond to commands. His blood pressure and temp also went up. She immediately paged neurosurgery who ordered a CT scan and were here in minutes to examine him. It was feared he had a large bleed in his brain, had a stroke or seizure. Upon review of the scan they said everything looked as expected. He has a lot of swelling due to the surgery and this is around the time the swelling peaks before starting to go down. They increased his dose of anti-seizure medication and will be given platelets as those are low too. His poor nurse finally got to go home over an hour late but not before coming in to kiss him goodbye and say she was off for the next few days but would call in to check on him. Hoping this was just a quick bump in the road and we will continue with a smooth recovery!
