MEG Completed

Another step completed again...Louis and Anna had a safe trip to Houston on Monday evening. Although neither of them slept much at the hotel, they did make it to the hospital (barely on time) at 6:30 Tuesday morning. Anna rolled around for the first part of the night and then had a seizure around midnight. After that, her medicine knocked her out until morning. The test began at 9:00 and was over around 2:00. She was not able to eat since the night before due to the anesthetic medication, so she was very hungry and thirsty when she woke up good around 3:00. Dad treated her to chicken nuggets and a milkshake on their way back to Austin. He is the BEST! They got home around 7:30 this evening and it is so good to have everyone back under our roof!

We are waiting for our doctors in Austin to receive the pictures and film from the test today. We have double booked our appointments to ensure that they know we are staying on top of them. I expect that we will not be able to meet with them until 10/29, but I have another appointment booked for Thursday, 10/18 just to make sure they are getting what they need to make their final recommendations. That experience I have as a project/account manager is still paying off, as I have to manage these doctors constantly!

A BIG THANKS for all your prayers and well wishes!!! Anna has not shown any signs of being in pain from surgery and her incisions are healing nicely.

Love,
The Barkhuizen Family
