Dear Friends,
im sorry for time between updates. I haven’t been feeling well and its been difficult to find energy to update.
God continues to take care of everything so perfectly. Maybe I can explain in more detail later but for now it will be brief.
Focal seizures get worse at times and have spread to both sides of my body. I have more up and down days compared to last surgery. Not steady improvement. Kids are happy to be able to see me and cuddle but I can only handle very short visits which is difficult for everyone. I want to be with them all day but im unable to do it. Makes my heart ache and makes them cry. Trying to navigate it all so they dont think im pushing them away but trying not to exhaust myself. Please pray for my children. It is very difficult on them.
I spoke with UCI radiologist and liked him very much. He was patient with all my questions, considered them and thoroughly answered and explained everything. He made a plan and made sure I understood what was going to happen and all side effects even rare ones since those seem to like me.
The plan:
6.5 weeks of radiation with sessions every weekday trying around same time. More aggressive with dose and area. Goal is to start ASAP, March 26th or sooner. I will be going to Orange, Ca for treatment! Praise God for His provision. The best treatment for me is so close and will relieve a lot of stress on everyone because it is so close.
I get my stitches removed in Duarte on Wednesday. Once cleared from neurosurgeon can start process for radiation.
I was hoping to go home tomorrow but I am not able to do that. I will be at my parents until at least Thursday or Friday and very likely into next week. My parents are amazing and I am comfortable here. Kids are able to easily come over and they stay downstairs and come upstairs for short visits.
God is good to me. I am having a more difficult recovery but I will join my suffering with His, offer up everything and I am praying for all of you. Please text me specific intentions and I would love to pray and offer up everything for them.
I was able to walk down the hallway with my (AFO),ankle, foot orthopedic. I can bend my knee and move my toes a little more. Physical therapy will come on Tuesday and Thursdays.
I will try to update again soon.
God bless you all.
Ashley
