Lilly Enlightenments - Tuesday Mid-Morning

I told you I was going to use the thesaurus to come up with a new word for update!
With all of these options, you may never read the word UPDATE on this blog again!
Yay!

Main Entry: brief
Part of Speech: verb
Definition: inform of facts
Synonyms:
abridge, advise, apprise, edify, enlighten, epitomize, explain, fill in, give rundown, give the lowdown, inform, initiate, instruct, let in on, orient, prepare, prime, recapitulate, show the lay of the land, show the ropes, summarize, tip off, update
Antonyms:
hide, secret


So....I just talked to Lilly's mom, Shelly.
Another doctor came in and told them the CT showed the incision area and the brain to be clear.
However, there was a large collection of fluid located behind the ear, at the back of the head.
He is calling Lilly's pediatrician so that antibiotics can be prescribed - and Lilly is going home this afternoon!
WONDERFUL NEWS!

I just googled "Fluid behind the ears" and read it can be caused by allergies. It makes the person have bad headaches, tenderness behind the ear, and a drunk/dizzy feeling.
Poor Lilly.
She was already having all of those symptoms from her brain surgery!

We are all just so happy that there is no infection related to her procedure.
More enlightenments to be posted as they occur!
