Green Hair

Her hair has a green streak from the procedure of replacing the drain yesterday.  She was excited to have her hair washed yesterday. Just that they left the green as it is near the drain site.  Think we are good for Halloween.

Very tired this morning.  Went for a walk this morning despite the tiredness - she's a trooper.  Oxygen mask has been replaced with the tube.  They are cutting back on the O2 with the intent of having her completely off by the end of the day.  Much of the fluid has gone from the body and skin is looking normal (not puffy and tight).  Fluid from her head is starting to clear again.  Plan is to start weening her off the drain tomorrow.  She has not shown any signs of being able to tolerate not having the drain so I am little nervous about this.

Doctors are encouraged.  Neurologically see looks really good.  Pulse and blood pressure looking good. After today the probability of a vasospasm starts to decline.
