11:35 a.m. Update - Surgery Over

Dr. Asono came and told us the surgery is over. Dr. Sood was still sewing up the incision as we were talking with Dr. Asono. The surgery went along as planned and they removed everything they needed to. Katie should have little if any side effects. She may have some difficulty in communication. If she does, it could last for a few weeks. She may not have much trouble at all. We just don't know yet. Dr. Asono went over with us their plan for Katie medication wise and what to expect over the next week. We'll be dealing with some of the same effects as we did with the first surgery, but there is some inward relief. There is the possibility that she could have a couple of really bad seizures due to the trauma of the surgery. Dr. Asono said if she did have them, they would be worse than anything we'd seen thus far. To reduce the chance of that happening, they will have her on strong doses of two different anti-seizure medications over the next three days. When I can, I'll upload computer images that show where the tumor was and how it related to the seizures. Hopefully we'll be seeing her by 1:30 p.m. or so.

We are praising the Lord here in the waiting room and thanking Him for his mighty love and grace.

Thank you all again for your prayers!

Hi guys, I am glad to hear things went well again ! Praise God for that !!! There is a song I sing alot with all we go through and it's called " I will Praise You in this Storm " by Casting Crowns, if you haven't heard it before you should look it up and listen, it is a wonderful song, it has alot of meaning to me. We all need to Praise God in our storms of life. He will see us through. God bless you guys and I hope little Grace is doing good also. Take care.
