Bethel is doing extremely well this time. She left the ICU and was transferred to the G1 for further recovery yesterday afternoon. She is not experiencing the sick to the stomach nausea from the first surgery, so she's been eating well. Her dressing was removed today and only has 1 maintenance IV line hooked up. This time the surgeon stapled her incision rather than with sutures. The right sutures were removed during the operation on Wednesday, so she only have the left staples to be removed. The doctors plan to discharge her tomorrow and we have 1 final appointment with Dr. Steinberg next Wednesday before we leave for home. Below are pictures of her battle wounds against Moyamoya:
