SURGERY

Just wanted to let everyone know that Mikayla has to have another surgery this Thursday at 8:30am at Vanderbilt Childrens Hospital. We went to Spina Bifida Clinic yesterday and Dr. Tulipan(neurosurgeon) said that her soft spot was a little firm. She had a CT scan and they found that her shunt is not functioning properly. The surgery will consist of them going in and looking at her shunt, finding where the malfunction is, and fixing it. Should not take long at all. We will not know whether she stays overnight until after surgery. If it were up to me I would rather her stay overnight just for observation, but they are the experts. Just when her hair is really growing - they have to shave a spot, just in time for pictures!!!! That's ok though! We will update everyone after surgery. Keep little Mikayla in your prayers.
