11:30 a.m. Wake-up TEST

Dr. Weinstein just called up to our "lounge" to report that at 11:20 a.m. they performed the "wake-up test", and Maggie responded positively!

The wake-up test is performed by the surgeon as they pull Chalupa out of deep, deep anesthesia. They ask her to move her toes and fingers etc... No nerve damage and she is coming out of it. Of course, she won't remember a thing.

The fact that they are performing this test means the most critical portion of the surgery is complete, (drilling of holes, placement of pins, attaching the rods etc...). There is still a ways to go, but at least she is more than half way through.
