the surgery is set for tomorrow at 12:50 PM. The time has changed at least 3 times. But we were assured this time was right. We have to be at Cincinnati children's at 11:15 am. The surgery itself should take about 5 to 6 hours. I will be blogging when I can about what it is going on.
After surgery, they will be trying to get Ally to have another seizure. this will allow the sensors that they set inside her head to verify the spot that the seizures start. Once the spot has been identified, the surgeons then begin to decided what the effected part of the brain controls.
Then the hard decisions must be made. There are some motor skills that could be affected by the resection. Randy, Ally and I will all be making the decision along with the doctors on what is worth risking (losing) in order to live a life without seizures. Example - Full use of her left pinky finger = most likely yes but any speech = most like no ...etc.
We will keep everyone updated as much as possible and call as we can.
