The Language Motor Mapping started at 10:00 a.m. and lasted the full two hours. The testing consisted of the doctor asking questions and Katie answering them. They were all relatively easy questions. While the questions were being asked, another doctor worked with the mapping wires connected to the grid on her brain and methodically stimulated specific areas of the brain. They stimulated arm and hand movement, mouth and tongue movement, shoulder and throat movement; not necessarily together as I have listed them.
Katie had a rough time throughout the whole time of testing. She continued to have severe nausea and a headache. She did well, but it was very overwhelming to her, as well as to Sandra and me. The doctors got all the data they needed and they are 80% sure she will eventually be seizure free after all is said and done. They have determined that none of her motor, sensory, or language areas should be effected.
It's been very rough, but the results of the tests are encouraging.

The doctors are 80 % sure that Katie will not have any more seizures. We are 100% sure that what ever God so desires, it will be right. Our prayer is that the surgery will go as planned and that Katie will have no lingering effects from the surgery.
Please let us know if we can do anything more.
