Out of the ICU...maybe

The NS has ordered Maria moved out of the ICU into a regular hospital room. He wants to keep her over the weekend, but might let her go early since he knows Cathy and knows how well we watch Maria. Her heart rate has started to play games again and she never did start drinking very much. She's still sleeping a lot but not as much as before.

Right now Maria is getting an EEG because another theory, since they still have no idea what is causing this nonsense, is that she could be having seizures. The NS was talking about doing exploratory surgery to see what's going on with the shunt, but has decided against it - which is good because I think Cathy would have said, "No way!" unless there was a really good reason to poke around inside her skull. This NS isn't as knife-happy as many surgeons are.
