We learned last week that Micah is officially a candidate for surgery. He was presented at the Neurology Conference by our epileptologist, and her fellow doctors agreed that he is a good candidate for removal of the malformed part of his brain, to (we hope) stop his seizures for good.
This coming Wednesday, September 19, we will travel to Chicago to meet with the pediatric neurosurgeon as well as our epileptologist. At these two appointments we will learn more specifics about the procedure, risks, benefits, recovery, etc., as well as having a chance to ask whatever questions we have. Following these appointments we anticipate that the surgery will be scheduled. We have no idea what the time-frame for that will be, whether the next week or longer down the road. Because it didn't take terribly long to get in to see the surgeon, I expect the wait won't be extensive. Unless we have more trouble with the insurance company dragging its feet.
We continue to covet prayers for peace of mind and wisdom.
