So I talk with a Dr yesterday and with her Naturopath today and got some news. We know now that it is an "Arachnoid Cyst" about the size of a ping pong ball. It is located in her frontal left lobe and it is between her skull and brain. THIS IS GREAT NEWS EVERYONE! As the nurse put it "This is the best of the worst." While it isn't ideal to have anything lodging in her brain we are seriously counting our blessings right now!
Thank you Jesus it ISNT a tumor!
Thank you Jesus we found it before it caused major damage!
Thank you Jesus it is located in an easy to reach spot!
Thank you Jesus for the naturopath that initiated this whole process!
Thank you Jesus for guiding us through this trial and never leaving our side!
I could go on and on......really.
*SO...here is the plan so far. Right now we have been informed it takes about 3 business days for the Neurosurgeon at OHSU to get the referral info from Providence. Once they get it he will look over it and we will get together and make a plan for them to remove the cyst. Yes she will most likely be having brain surgery soon but as of right now we think it should go easily because of the location of the cyst and the fact that it is on the outside of her brain.
We are SO very grateful for all of you who are faithfully praying for Mikayla and us....we can really feel those prayers. We are surrounded by some of the most caring and encouraging people! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!
Resting in Jesus' perfect peace,
Jessica

So I read your post to Curt and he was legitimately excited and said, "That is all great news. it should be an easy procedure that she'll recover quickly from with no lasting damage." If you're going to get a cyst on your brain, this is the one to get.
Still so sorry that your family is going through this, but rejoicing with you in all these ways that God is moving mountains for you and Mikayla. We are praying!
