Sorry about the delay in updating however I wanted results before I let everyone know. Anna had said the that her head had been hurting when we went to the Neurosurgeons office they did a ct scan and xrays and said that she was backed up and that was the cause of the headaches. On thursday we went back into Dr Kosnik's office and he admitted anna to have a Lumbar Puncture (LP) and a 3D ct scan. We were able to do the 3D ct scan on thursday and had to move the LP to Friday because she had a allergic reaction to the sleepy medicine. On friday they did the LP and her opening pressure was 30. So finally they just came in and said surgery on monday @ 1:30, they will be redoing her right sub temporal decompresion, replacing her LP shunt and placing a valve in her brain.

I had no idea when we came up it was going to be this intense so please continue to Pray for Anna Marie, the doctors and me..Mark is going to be coming up hopefully on Sunday then going home monday night after her surgery.
Also please keep Alexandria and Austin Mark in your prayers as they don't understand why mommy is gone again. Also childcare to keep them while Im away.

Thanks again for all your support,

Joy Dingess
