4:00 p.m. Update

Katie has been in the ICU for a couple of hours now. Sandra and I have been in there. They've got her hooked up to a bunch of wires like they did for her previous video EEG. They have already started video monitoring her and looking for seizure activity. They want to see three seizures before they put her back on her meds. The concern is that the tumor is in close proximity to the motor function and the language function. The seizures are usually found in the brain tissue immediately surrounding the tumor.

We have been able to communicate with her. She has a couple of her stuffed dogs with her as well as a couple of big balloons that were given to her by ladies from Sandra's work. (Thanks for the lunch, ladies!!!)

Until next time
