It has been a very long day! We are once again in waiting mode. Kristina is currently taking no seizure medicine and still hasn't had another seizure. However, today she has not been as cheerful . . . has slept alot more and been groggier all day. I guess because of the big seizure last night. I did get a chance to talk to the doctor again today and he once again explained the reason the neurology team wants to hold up on surgery a few more days. In looking at the data from last nights seizure they feel the seizures are still coming from that area of the brain. Pray for wisdom for the doctors as they plan the surgery on Thursday.
We are getting very restless. Days are running together and Krissy is beginning to feel the incision tighting up as it heals. It is very uncomfortable for her. She is also on her fourth IV and it looks like this one will have to be changed tomorrow. I guess she is beginning to get tired of all the needles, and IV's and meds . . . . and who can blame her. Once again I am sure some of it has to do with our expectations and being disappointed with the change in the sequence of events.
Thank you to all for the calls and cards! She gets very excited when the mail is delivered!
I wanted to ask again for prayer for the family I met here in the hospital . . . our first roommate and the family. The older woman has cancer on her brain and they are going to talk with the family tomorrow about stopping the radiation. There is nothing that can be done any further for her. I spoke with the daughter tonight; she is devestated. Her mother knows the Lord and she feels comfortable knowing where her mother will be, but the grief in losing their mother is very difficult. The son and daughter (and grandchildren) need strength and comfort at this time that can only come from God.

I am sorry your time frame has been changed.Definately praying they have all the data they need soon to get a sound plan in place.Hospital time is so slow, a week feels like a month.Now that we have the address Tami is going to make Krissy a card, shes very excited. I hope you are getting some rest Dolly and that this is all over for you both soon
At least after this you can say without a doubt that "YES YOU DO HAVE A BRAIN"!! I am sorry that it is taking so long and I know that the time is passing very slowly... all I can say is pogo, pogo, pogo. You have a friend in pogo. Any way I look forward to seeing your smiling faces when you guys get done up there. Afterward you have an appointment in God's country..lol. Down in Honkey Path, SC. And, a wedding to attend!!! You are definitely needed for that. Wouldn't want to miss that would you?
For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
