I just wanted to update everyone on what happened today.We met with the Surgeon that will be over Brooke's surgery and he is a really nice guy. He was very encouraging about the surgery, he said that with Brooke's age she is a perfect canidate and he just really felt that this would give Brooke her life back!
Dr. Honeycutt did say that it would probably be a couple of months before we would see any improvement, and because she is on so much meds that they would have to wing her off of it slowly.
We also met with Brooke's Life Coach Kristin that will be staying with her throughout the entire surgery. She really did a great job on easing Brooke's nerves and assured her that she would be with her the entire time.
I think that it is finally hitting me today all that is involved in the surgery. I am praying that God will guide the surgeons hands and that he will keep her safe from infections that seems to be one of the biggest risk. Pastor Randy called and said a word of prayer with me that helped a lot.
Thanks, for all that have posted on the blog their words of encouragement have meant the world to us.
The Dr. said that they will try to keep us updated every hour tomorrow, and as soon as the surgery is over we will go from the recovery room to ICU.
Ash., try not to worry I want you to take care of yourself.
I love you and miss you bunches!
Love,
Mom
