Another update: Out of surgery! By Mikayla Stevens — 2 hours ago
Mikayla is out of surgery and in recovery right now. We will be able to see her in about an hour from now (3:00). We met with her amazing neurosurgeon, Dr. Lanzino, and he said her surgery went well!! He thinks they were able to get all of her cavernous malformation but a MRI tomorrow will let us know for sure. She passed all the post operative tests with flying colors. Hopefully this will all just be a big bump her road to recovery soon! Thank you for all the prayers and good thoughts! Keep them coming for a clean MRI tomorrow!

about 12:45pm, eastern time --- GREAT news!
By Mikayla Stevens — 9 minutes ago Dr. Lanzino came in after the MRI results came back this morning and he said it looks GREAT! He said the surgery went exactly as planned and looks like it's all out! There is a small stain from the malformation but it's too close to motor and sensory skills so he left it. He doesn't think it will cause any problems in the future. She will still be on her strong doses of anti seizure meds for quite awhile but they will start reducing them after the first month, hoping to get to a lower comfortable level she can stay at for a couple years. The hope is one day even those will be just a distant memory. Thank you for all the good thoughts and prayers!!
Clover and Mikayla
