I got a call on Friday afternoon from Children's Hospital from the neuro nurse. She called to get an update on how Karter was doing as this coming Wednesday, his case will be presented once again before the epilepsy surgery team.
This meeting will decide whether or not we will be moving forward with further surgery for Karter. The surgery itself, would be the same as last time. It is a resection on the right frontal lobe. They would remove more of the portion that had developed abnormally. They were cautious last time with how much they removed; the philosophy was, taking took much could never be corrected, but taking too little can always be rectified later if need be. I suppose later is where we are now.
Please pray that not only would a decision come quickly so that we no longer need not live in limbo, but also, that the team would be well informed with Karter's condition and tests to date and make educated decisions based on those facts.
We should hear from the neurologist no later than Thursday. I will update at that time.
