More information on Anna:

In February 2007, Zac and Amy noticed something strange about their daughter. Anna’s eyes would roll back into her head for just a few moments, and then she’d be fine. But the incidents kept happening for the two year old, and neurologist Dr. Fred Perkins kept ordering tests, just to investigate a little more. The neurologist found something – a tumor on Anna’s frontal lobe, sitting close to a major vein. The tumor, three centimeters in diameter, was a meningioma, which is generally a benign tumor found in women ages 40 to 70.

Less than two week later, one of the country’s foremost pediatric neurosurgeons, Dr. Frederick Boop, began surgery to remove the tumor. He performed a craniotomy, removing part of Anna’s skull on her forehead and then removing the tumor.
