The next few days will be very tough. While Freya is still sleeping most of the time, she is extremely nauseous and the hospital hasn't yet found a medication that will allow her to keep her anti-epileptic medication down. The morphine she is receiving to control pain will be contributing to this nausea.
Freya has been on a combination of 4 anti-epileptics drugs for several years, and while the right side of her brain should be no longer capable of producing seizures it is still important that these medications be weaned slowly over a number of months. Any surgery to the brain can induce new seizures, even from people who do not have epilepsy. As only one of her current medications can be put into her IV line getting her system to tolerate her epilepsy medication is the challenge of the day.
