I got a phone call from the neurology department this afternoon. At this point they are trying to get Karter into surgery on April 16th. They are waiting to confirm it with one more department before they set it in stone. It turns out that our surgeon is very busy in March & April. He felt that it was very important to get Karter in quickly so they have borrowed time from another department in the O.R. If they are unable to get the EEG department to comit to April 16th the only other date avaliable would be May 1st.
Karter will go to the hospital on April 13th for an MRI and some pre-operative appointments. We will then be given an operation time for the 16th. He will be admitted the day of surgery and should be in hospital for 4-6 days if evrything goes smoothly. He will spend the first night in intensive care and then be moved to the ward for the rest of his stay.
Obviously the next few weeks are going to be hard. We would covet your conitnued prayers. We are going to go away for a few days with the kids next week for a bit of relaxation. Kurt and I are also going to get away for a night on our own as suggested by someone (you know who you are, thanks for the offer we will take you up on it, just working it all out)
All things work together for good, this is what we believe! God is still God, He is the Healer whatever it looks like! We continue to believe for total health and healing for Karter. Thanks for standing with us. We will keep you updated as to any changes or developments over the next few weeks.
