Tuesday, the 28th, in just a few days, Jim is going in for the first of two brain surgeries. He has already had 4 brain tumor related surgeries so we know what's it's like. Almost 3 years ago he started having seizures. He has multiple seizures daily. They think the seizures are coming from 2 different places in his brain. We've been trying different seizure meds and nothing has worked.
On Tuesday they’ll open his head and place a "grid" directly on his brain to monitor and find out exactly where the seizures are coming from and what other functions his brain does in those places. they will leave him in the hospital and monitor him for a week. On the second surgery scheduled for March 6th, they’ll take out the grid and hopefully remove the seizure causing brain tissue.
We will be fasting and praying this Sunday the 26th for Jim. You’re welcome to participate.

Even though he has been through 4 surgeries, I am sure it doesn't get any easier ~ there is nothing like the feeling of your child undergoing any surgery; no matter how mild.
I think you guys are so blessed to have this "grid" technology to help figure out where these seizures are coming from. We'll be praying for the surgeon, the procedure, Jimmy and your family.
Frieda, thank you for your prayers. Yes, the having done brain surgery before is kind of a double edged sword: I feel we are more prepared but, on the other hand we know how truly awful it is. I'm terrified and excited all at the same time. It would be such a blessing for him to be free from seizures.
Hi Melody,
Any update? How are you doing? How was the monitoring and surgery. I've been thinking of you and praying for the best.
With hope,
Janet
