2nd Surgery - Friday 8:00 am

Just wanted to let everyone know that Jackson's surgery will begin at 8:00 am eastern time. The data is back and they will resect portions of his right temporal and parietal lobes, which is located behind the motor cortex. He will still be hooked up to all the grids during the surgery, so once they remove this section they will look to see if the abnormal activity has tapered off and if so then that will be all they resect. If not, then they might have to do a little more but they will let us know throughout the surgery.

We continue to hold to our faith that he will be our same sweet baby boy with a whole new look on life after surgery. We can't wait for seizure free days! Thank you for lifting him up and keeping prayers coming his way.

You all will remain close in prayer tomorrow as you begin this next leg of the journey.We pray that God will continue to be your strength.That through His unwavering promise to not abandon you, that He will walk beside you each and every moment.That His Grace will fill your hearts.That peace will replace fear and worry.That Jackson sails through surgery and in no time at all, is smiling and happy and seizure free.

Our prayers are continually with you and have been since God gave you that miracle on 4/16/07. Again, I know in my heart that he will give Jackson the miracle of being seizure free. We pray that the Lord cotinues to guide you and give you the strength to cope with this very hard journey that he has given you. We will be thinking of you, Tony, Cindy and your mom and we will all be standing by you in spirit. My coworkers are holding a prayer session tomorrow morning for Jackson's recovery. Grandma continues to pray her beads daily. WE LOVE YOU,
Grandma, Edna & Andie

God I ask that you watch over Jackson. I ask you to guide his doctors hands today to allow them to rid Jackson from the seizures that of caused he so much hardship in his young little life. I ask that you look over Meghan and Tony today. I ask you God give them the miracle they need today. Please allow this family peace. In your name I pray.

Meghan I was so happy to hear the wonderful news this morning. When you see Jackson Determined tell him I am so proud of him. I love you all.
