Countdown to VNS- 5 days

I can't believe it. Only five days away. Bree's surgery is only five days away. Bree's emotions are a mix between "I don't want this surgery" and "I sure hope this is going to work". We have to do something. We started using www.seizuretracker.com and she has had 174 seizures since October 8th. These seizures are causing more damage to her brain. I can see it a little more each day. In her speech, watching her memory grow worse and her bad days come more often now. Yesterday she had a lot of falls. Her balance was so bad. But my brave girl didn't want any help. She wanted to do everything herself. She is determined. When she falls she picks herself up and keeps going. She has a bruise on her cheek and one on her forehead from hitting her face from one fall and her forehead from another.
It is a very chilly November day here today, and windy. But the sky is a beautiful blue. Such a chance from yesterday and Tuesday when we had pouring rain and flood watches and warnings. Bree loves rain though. Even my soccer playing Allie does. Rather she loves to play soccer in the rain and mud. Well it is time for lunch so I will post this and update more later.
