We've got a surgery date.

Dear All
Thanks again for all your love and encouragement. We are happy to say that we will be going in for Sylvia's surgery on January 8th. It seems a long way out for us and we have some mixed feelings about the wait. As always, Sylvia seems to be weathering this well, although there doesn't seem to be any improvement in the siezures with her second medicine she's tried so far. We remain optimistic, and will to some degree, be able to set this aside through the holidays. She won't need to go in again until the 7th of January for her pre-op appointment.
Love to you all
Dori

Sylvia's visit with her surgeon


Today we met the surgeon who will be doing Sylvia's surgery. He outlined what the procedure will be and the timing of it. His view of Sylvia's case was generally more optimistic than we had heard from her neurologist. We will now wait to hear from the scheduler for the next available date to schedule her surgery. We are encouraged and grateful for all of your prayers for us. Thank you.
