Crainioplasty complete...

Today was yet another witness that our Heavenly Father has been watching over our family and very aware of the needs our sweet mother.  After a lot of waiting, mom went in for surgery at about 2:30 and received her crainioplasty.  The doctors said everything went just as they had hoped and were pleased with the results.  After a few set backs we are so grateful for the blessings of this day and to finally pass this hurdle in our journey.  Mom came out of surgery well and although it was hard to see her in the ICU I couldn't help but smile when I saw that beautiful round head.  She really is such an amazing woman and I am so grateful for her courage. Prior to the surgery, Mom smiled with Dad and me fairly often and did her best to communicate with doctors and nurses.  I am so grateful for the support of our friends and family and all those who are praying for Mom.  We have felt those prayers carry us many times throughout this journey and today was no different. 

We now pray that she will heal well without any hint of infection. We have been very blessed to have a great Neurosurgeon and Plastic surgeon to help mom. They too have been sent from Heaven. We need to get past these next three weeks with no issues and we can then close the books on this chapter of mom's recovery.
