Yesterday, Avendesora had her eye surgery and it went great. The doctors said she'll need close supervision for the next few weeks and the probably every month afterwards until she's a few years old. The head ultrasound doctor wanted to talk to Brandy and I as we were on our way out of the waiting room to go home. We told him we had some time and he had us meet him in a consultation room. He told us that there is two parts of brain matter, white and gray. The gray matter is used for thinking and high thought processes and the white is for muscle movement and control. Aven's latest ultrasound shows several cysts on her white matter. The doctor told us that this usually leads to cerebral palsy. He told us with the way the ultrasound looked it was a good chance that Aven will have this disease. We were told that the best case scenario would be that she would only be effected in her legs and not have any learning problems. Worst case is that she would not be able to learn in a meaningful way and her whole body would be effected. We have already had numerous miracles with our daughter and we are praying for another one, that our baby girl can grow up and have a productive life and be able to accomplish amazing things. Brandy is going down tomorrow and I'll try to remember to post anything new that she discovers. Thanks for everything everybody has done, we really appreciate it.

p.s. Isis decided to give himself a haircut this morning and is now almost completely bald. Mom wasn't happy.

We're glad that the surgery went well. Aven is getting to be such a big beautiful girl. Where are those pictures of Isis' haircut? :^)
SO glad to hear the surgery went well. Hopefully she'll be totally healthy, like you said. You're always in our prayers!
