The Verdict

Hello friends! Dr. Elkay presented all of Cutter's evidence at the epilepsy conference on Thursday. Everyone decided that surgery is going to be the next route for little Cutter Bug. Cutter's initial surgery will consist of intracranial monitoring for three to seven days. They will place a grid on his brain that will allow them to pinpoint exactly where the seizures are starting, what parts of the brain are being affected by the seizures and the pros/cons of removing the cortical Dysplasia. This is very much like a regular EEG but there are many more leads and is a lot more precise. They are looking to start the procedures somewhere around January 5. Dr. Elkay is wanting to do the procedure during a time when she is not working so that she can monitor Cutter very carefully. This the road that God has led us down, and Grace He will provide! We will keep you updated! Thank you so much for your prayers!!!
