Another Step...

As the surgeon said, another step completed. Successfully, I will add. Anna had surgery at 7 am today to remove the VNS implant. She went to recovery around 10:15 and we made it home around noon. She will stay on pain medication and light foods today and back to normal within 24 hours. The incision on her neck is about 3 - 3 1/2 inches and about 5 inches from her chest to her under her arm. It is hard to believe that looking at her 3 hours ago in a hospital bed, just out of surgery and now we are home, where Anna is the happiest!

Thank you for all your prayers, but don't stop....next week brings on another list!

10/15 - Louis and Anna travel to Houston
10/16 - Anna will have MEG in Houston at Memorial Herman hospital (half a day)
10/18 or 10/29 - We will meet with Neurosurgeon to discuss results from the MEG, plan for brain surgery, and schedule the date

Prayers:
Quick healing and pain free from surgery
Safe travel to Houston
Comfort during MEG test
Results and good data from MEG test

Thanks again for your encouragement and prayers!
