If you would like to commit to praying for us and all of the medical staff before, during and after surgery, please leave a comment (and a way for me to contact you).

You want to what?!?

After many, many, many appointments with Dr. Phillips in Annapolis, we have all come to the conclusion that surgery is the next step for us.  It's so obvious that it's almost like, well, let's get on with it then!  I am currently on hold waiting to actually schedule a date for the surgery.  And I'm nervous (and I have vertigo).

Anyhow, we got to a point around Christmas where A started showing signs of a ridge protruding on her forehead.  It doesn't seem that anything serious is happening, but that calls for another scan of some sort.  Which lead us to face the fact that we didn't appreciate our original neurosurgeon as much as we could of, and instead, prefer a surgeon in Texas.

After contacting Dr. Fearon's office, we started the back and forth of pictures, explaining our particular case and making sure Dr. Fearon was the guy for us.  I recounted my conversation with A's original neurosurgeon, Dr. Fearon interrupted me to say "actually, neurosurgeons don't fix this problem.  I fix this problem."  Well then, your boldness has sold you, good sir!

{small pause to speak with the scheduling department}

I will have to wait until Monday to schedule - but here we go!
