We received confirmation today that Anna's surgery has been scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 11 at Dell Children's Medical Center. The surgery will be to place 2 small "burr" holes on the left and right side and the surgeon will slide in strips of electrodes that will cover areas of Anna's brain. They will stay there for several days, while they try to capture seizures. The goal of this is to find the starting point of the seizures and remove or disconnect the area. There is some concern that the area will not be found. If the area is not found, they will either place grids (which are larger patches of electrodes that require more invasive surgery) or do a Corpus Collostomy (which is disconnecting the right and left brain). It is our prayer that the strips provide the doctors the exact starting point of the seizures and they are able to successfully remove/disconnect this area and Anna heals without complication. We are also praying that she remains comfortable and is pain-free during all of this.
Thanks for checking on Anna,
Rebecca
