What a long day it has been...

We checked into the hospital this morning at 0730 and it was our understanding that the Wada was going to happen around 0800. Dr. B who is in charge of the cognitive function portion of the procedure came in around 0830 and left us with the impression that the Wada Test would take place soon...so we waited...and waited....and waited...Finally, around 1100, Robert (super-hero nurse since he is a universal donor per his blood type) shared with us that transport would be coming by 1500 to take M to do the test...and we waited...and waited...To make it even more interesting, M has not had a bite to eat since 2300 the previous night. Around 1530, they came to take M down to the test. To make a long story short, the Wada did not happen and M was returned back to her room around 1800. As it turns out, of the two testing centers available, one was out of commision. And, there happened to be a couple of emergency cases that had to be taken care of before M could get the Wada done.



So, it was back to the room where...

...the bald head did happen. The pictures can explain a good portion of our fun little party. Since we knew that M was going to lose her hair for the surgery, she decided to not let it go to waste and donate it to Children With Hair Loss. How special!!! Thus we also felt like sharing this joy with others and similar to Sunday's haircut party, we threw one here, as well. Thanks to all our friends that were here this evening. Each one of you is very special and we are thankful for the bonds that have been formed. Some of you reading may recognize the names and now have faces to match with them. Some of these included Sean and Carrie. Carrie had brain surgery in January. She totally pulled off the bald thing, too, but doesn't she look great today? We also were very blessed to have included the parents our sweet precious friend, and one of God's newest angels, Joey.

So the haircut began in the same manner as Sunday, one ponytail at a time. B had the most fun as Dr. T let him shave M's head in prep for the surgery tomorrow. However, a pact was made that if B got to shave M's head, M got to shave B's head.

Well, it has been a very long day, in fact M is off at this time (1230 am) to get an MRI done and then to bed for a long day tomorrow.

We look forward to posting pics of the party and even some video tomorrow. Please pray for M's surgery tomorrow. It is a risky surgery and we can only pray that the docs would be able to find her seizure. Thanks for praying!
