redo surgery

Srikar is scheduled for redo surgery on 9 Mar 10 i.e tomorrow at Medical city, Dallas by Dr. Sacco and Dr. Price. Getting the surgery done at Hopkins this time is going to financial burden to us as Dr. Carson does not take our new insurance. So we decided to get it done at Dallas this time.

The neurologist at Hopkins, Dr. Vining has some concerns regarding his EEG. His EEG shows right side spikes whereas his clinical seizures always shows his right hand and right leg moving. After discussing with the other neurologists at Hopkins and talking to Dr. So (Srikar's neurologist in Dallas), she too agreed that removing the remaining left side tissue and disconnecting hemispheres might benefit Srikar.

We are concerned about his surgery and recovery as he had a long surgery and recovery last time. Please keep Srikar in your prayers for a smooth surgery and recovery.
