Peaceful at last

A difficult day today: Meghan has been set back neurologically by this surgery. Considering this is her 7th, and most aggressive, brain surgery, I suppose we shouldn't be too surprised. There appears to be some short term memory loss which we are hoping is only temporary. Meghan recalls everything that has happened to her prior to yesterday. She remembers her life, friends, family and activities in Clarence very clearly but she can't remember what she ate for lunch. If either Stephan or I are out of the room, she thinks that we are in Buffalo. Try as hard as we can, the memory struggles to be retained. We can tell her 20 times what just happened, and she can't recall the memory. Dr Butler said that the surgery was pretty traumatic for her brain and he hopes that due to her age, the cells will recover. It makes you realize what an incredible organ the human brain is, and how devastating it is when it is damaged. Yet another request for our prayer list.
Finally, she was able to rest without being woken up every hour for neuro checks.
