Good news, we're finally getting out of here!! Dr. Schmelzer came around 3 p.m and he ended up putting 5 staples in to close it up. He didn't want to suture it afraid that there was still some swelling that could make those pop and he also didn't want to wait a few days for the swelling to go down afraid that he would lose all of the skin that he brought up to close it. So this was the next best option. He's 90% sure he got it closed, it was really hard to see with the blood and everything since we were just bedside. They gave her some Ativan to help calm her nerves but that didn't really help so then they gave her some morphine but that didn't really help her calm down either. It took about 2 hours to get back to her normal self and she doesn't remember a thing. So that is good! So glad we'll be home for Thanksgiving tomorrow. Hopefully when we change her head wrap on Friday everything is looking good and we'll have a good report to report back to him on Monday. Thanks for the support. Our tribe is amazing as always!!
