Meghan is stable and fluids were cut down so she seems less swollen this morning. Doctors said tomorrow’s plan for surgery will be to close if they are 100% sure she is healing and heading in the right direction. If they want her to stay open they will decide to do the temporary tracheotomy for future surgeries and would then be able to remove breathing tube. Ventilator would be continued through the trach. One of the lead doctors came in to talk to Rob this afternoon and he still isn’t happy that she can’t follow simple commands - opening eyes/squeezing hands, etc. they will be doing the EEG overnight tonight. That is the test they were going to originally do and one of the reasons she got transferred to University of Maryland. This test will record brain activity and see if those silent seizures are happening.
