Here We Go Again . . . Take Two!



Here we go again . . . . "take two" of an enormous adventure! It is Monday morning and we are sitting in the hotel . . . patiently waiting (not!) the time for us to arrive at the hospital for surgery. We have to be there for surgery prep at noon . . . and she will probably go into surgery by 2:00. So it will definitely be a long day. The hardest part is Krissy cannot have anything to eat or drink since last night at midnight.

Her spirits are high . . .and she is very optimistic about this surgery. She feels the timing is right and God has her prepared for this day! Your eyes saw me when I was formless; all my days were written in Your book and planned before a single one of them began. Psalm 139:16 After the many months of not knowing what was next with the research program . . .we are finally back on target. The surgery today will be to install the device for the Neuropace. Then we will go through the training on how to use the wand and laptop that information will be downloaded onto from the device in her head. Wow . . sounds too wild to be true! But, ultimate goal is to stop (or even reduce would be good) the number of seizures. And boy is she ready for that.

Her surgeon told us he would like to have us home in 4-5 days, by Christmas . . . .but the way we look at it . . . what a wonderful Christmas this will be to have the possibility of Krissy's seizures being controlled. We know God is in control and to Him we give the glory for all things!

We thank you for all your prayers and we ask that you will continue to pray for this journey we are on!
