Well, it's 8:08pm and I'm about to write what I wasn't expecting to write this morning.
What a day of extremes! From the most horribly low to the most exhillerating high we are so happy to tell you all good news...
When we met the neurosurgeon for the first time this morning, he said in no uncertain terms that surgery was absolutly mandatory now. We could not wait, it was a matter of saving Boise's life.
Surgey began and two hours later when we met the surgeon, he said the surgery "technically" went very well. In the same breath, the surgeon painted a very grim picture of what he expected the outcome to be. He said there was limited brain function and now we are simply waiting "day to day" to see any outcome.
Later this evening, both the neurosurgeon and the neurologist met with us and told us that she might well regain consciousness but it was guarded. About 6pm this evening, we met again with the neurosurgeon and he was "guardedly optimistic". Boise was responding to verbal commands, moving her eyes, moving her right hand and leg and at one point we swear she waived.
A day like to today only shows not to give up hope, keep a positive attitude and thank everyone who thinking good things for Boise.
Indeed another beautiful day...
Again, thank you for the update.
