Well it came fast, but it's over now and everything went great. Not only did it go great but the tissue they removed was abnormal tissue. In the past they have only seen healthy tissue so now we have confirmation that something was there and they got it!!
We checked in at 5:30 am and after all the morning rounds and huddle, they started her surgery at 9:18 am.
I don't have a lot to report just yet. Bailey is still very sleepy from the whole thing. She has opened her eyes a few times and has said four words. That is also good news since they thought she would have some speech delays or loss from the procedure. Even though it would have only been temporary Jared and I just teared up hearing that sweet little "mom" and "dad." So far the only thing we have seen is a little weakness in her right hand, again something they told us might happen and only temporarily. Overall the day went well, the surgery went great and this mommy and daddy are tired but relieved. It feels like I can take a deep breath for the first time in a long long time. We have been fighting this journey with Bailey for two and a half years, we are exhausted but hearing the surgeon say he found something today made everything worth it. What a crazy journey this has been. I had a hard time wrapping my head around one Craniotomy and tissue resection, but now she has had TWO!!!! Not only two resections but she has had a total of 4 brain surgeries. That is just amazing to me. We have made it through the bad and now its Bailey's time to live a new life free from doctors, hospital stays, pokes and seizures.
Good Night
Love
Jared and Amanda
