Amy was initially told that her surgery would be at 4 pm on December 9th at UNMC and that it would take 4 to 8 hours. We envisioned tired surgeons and nurses working until midnight, wanting to go home, yet needing to delicately remove tumor from fibers of Amy's brain that control movement on her L side of her body and her vision. We decided that we'd prefer an earlier start on a later date, so I called the office to see if we could reschedule. When I called, she said that the surgery is now scheduled for 2 pm (We have to go in at noon) and is expected to be done in 4 hours. Okay. That sounds reasonable.
Amy has gone several days without a seizure, but is still having lots of headaches and taking lots of tylenol, which usually helps. Going for a swim or a run tend to help her headaches too. Sarah is coming home tomorrow night, and Amy's parents will join us the next day to celebrate Thanksgiving with us. I may sound deluded saying so, but we have so much to be thankful for. We've already gotten 8 more years than we expected when she was diagnosed in 2004 for starters! Thanks for praying!
