Sarah’s surgery time was moved from 7:30 to 9:00. We had a lengthy discussion with Dr. Mangano this evening. The procedure we decided was best isn’t a full anatomical hemispherectomy. It is what is being called a “modified functional hemispherectomy”. Basically they are removing most of the hemisphere, but not all of it. This will lower the chance of serious complications. The areas that will be left have “hot spots” but are not causing any seizures to manifest which means that they are disconnected and shouldn’t cause any problems. We just felt that this was the right course of action at this time.

I will keep the blog updated tomorrow. Please pray for Sarah.
