Surgery…Hopefully The Last One
6:00pm
Sarah is out of surgery and is doing well. Dr. Mangano is confident that he severed all connections and also removed some of the left side that was causing all the problems. He said that if she doesn’t have any issues tonight that she will be moved to the Neuro floor tomorrow and if she does well she could be back in rehab early in the week. The rehab folks are holding her room for her. They seemed confident that they will not need the room. We are happy about that. The room is at the end of the hall and is quiet. Praise the Lord for getting her through the surgery in good order.
Oh yeah, did I mention that she is talking? Praise God for that too. I told Kim that I wouldn’t post this but I can’t resist. She said Daddy instead of Mommy.
Thanks to everyone for there prayers and support. Keep praying we never see another seizure. I will post more later, but it will probably be tomorrow.
3:20pm
We just got word that they are closing. It probably will take them a while to close so we may have an hour or so more to wait. We have not had a chance to talk to the surgeon yet.
2:40pm
The only update we have is that she is doing fine. Not sure how much longer.
10:42am
First incision. The 7:30am start time eludes us again.

I see so many parents worrying about…..Oh..my child has ADD, my kid is doing bad in math, or this and that!!?? This beautiful little girl and her family has real things to deal with. I pray for Sarah and her family. When I meet God some day, I will ask why??. We are not supposed to question The Lord but he made me and I really need to know why she had to go through this? Until then, thank Jesus for keeping Sarah’s recovery positive!!!
