Surgery began around 10:15am. We have received several updates from the operating room nurse...
OR Nurse: Everything is going well.
Me: Thanks for the update.
OR Nurse: I'll call back in an hour.
That is it. So not much to update. Not until they come to point where they have to make a decision on the motor and sensory cortex. Dr. Chugani did stop by to say everything in the OR was quiet...just the way they like it. It will probably be late afternoon before they make a decision on the motor and sensory cortex. So I won't be updating regarding the surgery until we find out what the decision will be. But I may post some more videos...it's calming to me to go back and watch them.

Praying for you, Sophie, and the doctors!
And, I so wish I could watch the videos...my internet connection just can't handle it! :(
Thanks for the update!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and precious Sophie. We remember this day very well in Detroit when Jackson had his surgery and we were having all the emotions that you are feeling now. We met you in Detroit during your visit. Now each time we see Jack he is making such strides in his progress and development. We are so grateful for his surgery and the wonderful doctors that are now with Sophie. She too will be fine and seizure free. You are almost there. God Bless, Jack's Grandparents
I pray that this is the answer you have been waiting so long for! My heart is overwhelmed knowing exactly what you are going through.The grid maping is hard by itself and then surgery shortly after..I know you must be feeling so many emotions.You are at the best place in the world for help. Once this is over and you can go home..you will be so amazed at how fast they heal! Stay positive and strong! God Bless!!
Still praying for you all...
I'm amazed by surgeons, I really am. I was fortunate enough to work for my mother one summer, and she was the admin manager for the pediatric surgery unit at University of Maryland Hospital. The chief surgeon there once allowed me to scrub up and observe a surgery on a very young child, maybe 8 months old. I had to hang back, be in full scrubs, be monitored during scrubbing and during my time in the OR, be escorted at all times and all that but what amazed me was the patience of the surgeons...for HOURS standing there, doing their work, no break, no chit chat...it was one of the most incredible things I have ever witnessed before.
Surgery went off without a hitch and I bailed after he first three hours, but they were at it for maybe around 11 hours total. Unreal stamina.
