After input from many doctors, it has become apparent that Jessie needs to have brain surgery yet again. Including shunt and revision, this will be her 5th brain surgery. Hopefully, we can finally put an end to her seizures with this procedure, but there are no guarantees.
There are small amounts of tissue left in her frontal and temporal lobes that may be the cause, but even with EEGs, MRIs, SPECTs, PETs, etc.., no one can be sure.
She can't live with the seizures, and even on her increased medications she has 5 or more a day.
Right now, the plan is to have the surgery in mid-to-late May. She would continue with school until the day of surgery, then finishing out her school year in the hospital or with home-bound instruction.
The surgery will be done at Cook Children's Medical Center by Dr. Donahue.
Blessings,
Cris and Kristi
