Brain Surgery Take 2

So now it has been just about a year since Jeff’s first brain surgery and until about a month ago we thought we were in the clear. Jeff’s eyes have been progressively getting worse since the surgery and we have been going to different eye doctors to see what the problem was. It wasn’t until last month when we went to see a neuro-ophthamologist that we found out a new lesion is pushing on the optic nerve in his brain. The neurosurgeon looked on Jeff’s last routine MRI and found new lesions. The decision was made to go back in and get a piece of these new lesions that are growing to try and decipher what exactly is growing in there. This time the surgery will only be the start of our journey. Once they figure out what exactly is growing, they will make a game plan from there. So it looks like we have another year of hospitals and doctors and waiting for answers. The surgery was initially scheduled for February 8th and was cancelled about a week prior and we have been waiting for a new date since. After some slight harassment on Jeff’s part (calling and e-mailing the surgeon every few days), he was scheduled in for March 4th.
