Stable is the word of the day. No improvements, but no downsides,
either. Harper is fairly heavily sedated to keep her comfortable while
they try to get her condition perfect for surgery day. She received
another blood transfusion this evening, and they've decided at this
point to leave her on the ventilator even though she is using it
minimally.
Right now surgery is still scheduled for Thursday, but we were warned
tonight that her labs have to be perfect for the surgery to take place.
For the surgery, they have to remove the packing in her head, then
attempt again to remove the complex cyst at the back of the ventricle.
They have a second cyst at the front to remove as well that they know
of, but they say it won't be as complicated.
So, things to pray for: Harper's continued strength, her continued lack
of need of the ventilator, a continued decrease in blood pressure
medication, perfect lab results (so far, so good), and no surprises on
surgery day!
