Update from the Neurosurgeon

There was really no new news from the surgeon on Thursday. He will remove the VNS Wednesday morning, which he says is simple to him. We should be home by the afternoon and Anna will need a few days to recover. She will be sore from the incision under her arm and her neck, each incision is about 3 inches.

10/9 - Pre-op visit to draw blood
10/10 - Surgery to remove the VNS
10/15 - Louis and Anna travel to Houston
10/16 - MEG in Houston
10/18 or 10/29 - Meet with Austin Neurosurgeon and Neurologist to discuss MEG results, plan for surgery, and schedule a surgery date

We are still planning for brain surgery to take place the first half of November.

Prayer requests:
Comfort for Anna with little pain during the blood work and surgery
Surgeons hands and wisdom
Safe travel to Houston
Comfort during MEG test
Results and good data from MEG test
Pray that I am able to communicate well with the surgeon and I don't get frustrated

Love,
Rebecca
