Surgery Wednesday

Haley is still in testing and the Dr. already came to talk to us about scheduling surgery for Wednesday. She has considerable scar tissue which is cutting off the flow of CSF (cerebral spinal fluid) and needs decompression like last year. In addition, they found a piece of bone that is poking her brain stem and needs to be removed. If the bone is removed, it could cause instability and require fusion of her skull base to her cervical spine. Yes, this would cause her mobility to be limited and we are certainly not in favor of that unless it is completely necessary. A lot of things for us to ponder and pray about and her testing isn't even over. Please pray for wisdom that we make the proper choices for her care. I will post more information when the testing is complete.
