This morning Samantha goes into the hospital to be "fast tracked" for her DBS(deep Brain Stimulation) surgery. Fast track means that they put you through all of the tests so that they have a baseline to work with. She does not get surgery today but tthey test her functions and tell her what to expect. Everyone is a little nervous about the surgery. I feel like the more times we do a surgery like this the larger the risk of something going wrong. We had also hope to hold off on surgery for as long as possible because of Samantha's age and head growth. The longer we wait the less likely her head will keep growing and the less likely the leads will migrate and require another surgery. These things are weighed with the lack of mobility. Samantha and us feel like she is better trying to get some of the mobility back and discomfort away now.

The kids all got to go see the Gators play this past weekend and had a blast. Michelle took them while I attended the Dlorida Society of Neurology conference in Orlando. It was worht meeting some new contact for the foundation and the exposure to nuerologists all over the state of Florida.
