Here We Go Again!

We made it safe to Columbia and back home again! Mitch had a 3D MRI and a Functional MRI yesterday and then we met with the surgeon. Right now the plan is to go back and see her on May 2nd to set up surgery. Mitch really wanted to wait until classes are over for this semester before he had surgery and that was just fine with her and us. He needs to go for a functional CT scan now and that will tell her how much scar tissue he has between his skull and dera! She is wanting to place the grid higher on his head this time and she really THINKS she can get rid of the seizures but she CANNOT guarantee that, just hopes so! We continue to trust their decision and pray like crazy that this will work. Mitch is VERY disappointed but he also just wants to feel better. It is a lot different this time as we all kinda know what to expect and we all know that it must be very hard to have your head chopped on as much as he has had! We really appreciate all the wonderful words, hugs and prayers Mitch and us are getting. You will never know how much they all truly do help. So I think we are probably looking at the end of May or first of June he will enter back in the hospital have his skull removed and a gird placed on his brain and they will watch the activity for at least a week, maybe two and then they will remove that part of the brain. He will be in ICU all the time but they are very flexible with healthy visitors and we sure enjoy all we get! Thanks for all the prayers and please keep them coming. Love you all, Theresa
