The results from the CT scan indicate that Claire has had a small stroke, probably during surgery. The cardiologists shared the initial results and then we got to speak with a fellow in neurology. She will have a MRI on Monday to see the exact damage. Luckily it only affects her left arm as far as we can tell. The area of the brain affected could also impact her left eye but we will have to see what the results show from the MRI. They did mention this is not the area that impacts language & learning. We will see therapy (ot and pt) on monday too.
She is smiling and laughing at me even though we didn't get the best news today.
Here is a picture of Claire eating her popsicle in the playroom on C5. We love that girl.
