A couple of weeks ago Calleigh had a routine 3 month MRI. There was a tiny spot they noted. To follow up last week, she had a spinal MRI and a spinal tap. They were trying the most noninvasive measures to determine what it was. Both of those were clear which is good news. There is nothing in her spine or spinal fluid. Let me be clear that we do not know what this tiny "grapeseed" is. Our prayers are that it is nothing, but if it is something, her treatment plan would need to change. This is NOT an emergent procedure, but we do not want to wait longer for answers. Calleigh will have surgery on Monday to remove the spot. It is a less intense and risky surgery but of course there are always risks. We absolutely do not want to do this, but it could potentially effect her long term so we are trusting the doctors.
We will probably be in the hospital a few days. Her surgery is at one on Monday and we are asking people to not come during the surgery. I know for many it is a comfort to have friends and family around and I guess I am just weird but we prefer to wait in as much peace as we can have.
Pray that this is nothing and we can continue on our current path. We are of course disappointed, defeated, angry, etc, but like everything else, we will take it as it comes and believe God has a purpose in all of this for us and for Calleigh even when we cannot fathom what that may be.
