We received a call from the neuro-surgeon's office today. She apoligized for the long wait. There was a mix up with Allyson's file and it was set aside.
Allyson's surgery process will begin on March 31, 2008. On this day they will place the electrodes directly onto her brain. These electrodes are similar to an EEG but done inside the skull. This test will verify the doctors are in the correct place. Then on April 7, 2008, the actual brain re-section will be done. Allyson will be in the hospital from March 31 - April 12, at least.
The good news in all of this is that Allyson will be able to take her OGT's at the beginning of March. This has been a point of contention with Allyson. When we thought the surgery would be in 2007, she hopefully would have been back in time for the test. With each delay, Allyson worried she wouldn't be able to take the tests. This last delay was just long enough to avoid the tests all together. It seems strange but this makes the last delay good news.
Thank you for all your prayers and cards. They are most helpful.
