Looking Good!


It is Thursday morning and Jess and I are sitting at the hospital with Krissy. She is still in a great deal of pain...but as the nurse keeps telling her, "hey, you just had brain surgery." And of course, Krissy tries so hard not to take the pain meds. The doctors will wait until around noon before they make the call as to whether or not she will be released today.

Surgery yesterday went well! They finally took her into the preparation area about 1:30 pm and rolled her out toward the operating room at 2:10 pm. We received a call that the actual surgery began at 3:00 and they were finished by 3:50 pm. Overall the procedure went well and now it is just getting through the recovery. She is definitely not liking the "turban" that is on her head right now! But Krissy always seems to bounce back pretty quick! She is such a trooper!

For those that do not know, the most recent medication change, along with the adjustments for the device, appear to be working! Kristina has not had a gran mal seizure for almost two full months! I don't think this has happened in many, many years! She is still having a few smaller seizures; however, they are much easier for her to deal with. We praise the Lord daily for His mighty hand and how He gives the doctors the knowledge to know what to do!

The surgeon just came by and shared that the surgery went well and they were able to repair one of the electrodes that was diagnosed as having some problems.

Kristina was very excited yesterday to see the response from so many friends and family that wore purple in recognition of epilepsy awareness and her surgery! She was overwhelmed with the show of support and love for her! Thank you from all the Noa's!

Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous fall. Psalm 55:22

that turban would go great with one of my afghan outfits.

She had better appreciate my purple pic because I am catching a great deal of grief over it!

Krissy is beautiful in a turban, hat , no hat, no hair, or a full head of hair. Beauty shows from the inside out and you are one of the most beautiful people I know. My prayers are with you always. I love you and take care.
