Surgery

Just wanted to update everyone and request that you please put Brenna on your prayer list. We leave for Memphis on Sunday after Church and will check in to Le Bonheur Children's Hospital for surgery on Monday morning at 6:00am. St. Jude does not do the brain surgeries at their hospital, so we'll be doing it there. Her surgeon will be Dr. Boop, who also did her last surgery. It will be in two phases. The first surgery is to put the electrodes on the surface of her brain to map it out and get an exact location of the seizure area. It's also to show them where they do Not want to go. They will close up her head and leave the wires in for about 5-7 days to gather all the info that they need. Obviously she will be inpatient for this entire time. Then, after that, if they decide that there is no risk in harming her speech or motor skills, etc, they will do the second surgery which will be going in to remove the part of her brain that is causing the seizures. She could be in the hospital for a couple of weeks.

Brenna is not nervous at all. She's ready. I'm ready too, but just ready for it to be over! I thank you all for praying for our little girl. With thanksgiving for what God is going to do, we are presenting our requests to Him so that the peace of God which is beyond our understanding will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus!!
