I’m in Barcelona with Sarah for a week 🙂
It’s early days but the improvement after the surgery is encouraging. She is swallowing more easily (and managing double the nutrition she was before the op), feeling more coherent and not having the head pain she used to. It’s noticeable how much better her speech is too.
Sarah’s recovery from having surgery is slow though, and she has had some complications due to her EDS and generally fragile state. As she said in her last post, she had an infection that needed to be cleaned up surgically. She’s now on IV antibiotics for a couple of weeks and it looks like it’s clearing up well. She also has a small leak of spinal fluid in her lower spine - not as bad as it sounds, but it means she has to stay in hospital while that heals. She has to lie flat for at least the next 4 days because of it, so still isn’t managing to do much on Facebook.
All that sounds worse than it is. Overall Sarah is doing well. She’s in good spirits and much improved from before. The doctors are really pleased with the outcome, it’s just a case of recovering from the operation.
Thank you so much to everyone who is supporting, praying and wishing Sarah well. It means such a lot to her, and although she’s out of touch it’s cheering her up a lot to think of all the love that’s coming from back home and around the world.
