They have put Mom back on bed rest for now while they monitor her reaction to the steroid to reduce the fluid and another drug to slow the production of spinal fluid.
She is getting great care by her nurse and the other staff. They are checking on her often to see how she is improving. They ask her different questions about what year it is, her last name and sometime she is correct with her answer, sometimes she is not.
They said it is not uncommon for a patient to do really well the first day after surgery and then to have a dip the 2nd and 3rd day the resident said. This all is within the range of "normal" it just is hard to see the change.
