When everything is taken from you and your normal is shattered, it’s impossible to know where to start to put the pieces back together. Especially at the beginning. Once you begin getting the shape of your new normal, a piece falls off. Maybe it wasn’t meant to stick. Maybe the glue that was holding it […]
7/30/17 It’s one day until my surgery. This past week I’ve felt pretty good…the countdown was running in the background of my mind while I kept super busy with work, closings, showings, walk throughs, an EEG and a three hour pre-op appointment, not to mention the extreme patience often needed during Reagan’s v e r […]
7/24 & 7/25 I had a 24 hour EEG and decided to channel my inner gangster rapper. I mean, after all the emotional processing of this whole deal, if you can’t laugh, what can you do? The purpose of the EEG is to see if any of my brain waves look weird or can explain […]
Recently we took Reagan to a new neurologist in Columbus, OH, at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. The neurologist specializes in pediatric movement disorders and was recommended to us by Reagan’s first neurologist, who we absolutely loved and have missed terribly. It was a big deal to go to Columbus. We had to fly AND connect in Atlanta, […]
Well November flew by! We stayed super busy and so much happened, I truly don’t know how we’re at the end. Below is as concise of an update as I could fit in. As always, thanks for your prayers and continued support! Brain Plasticity Therapy This is a biggie. I know a lot of you were closely following […]
I feel like there’s been a big elephant sitting on the blog and I’m going to talk about it. About two months ago, I wrote about how we were going to Georgia to attend a healing conference in hopes that Reagan would be 100% healed by God. Well, I didn’t make a huge announcement about Reagan being instantaneously and miraculously […]
Earlier this week I had a Facebook memory come up…some memories are horrible, and they’ll always be horrible. I don’t like the reminder, Facebook. This was the memory. It’s a blog from two years ago, and in painstaking detail, I write about our eight day hospital stay. When I read it, I think: “maybe that’s where […]
We saw Reagan’s new neurologist a couple weeks ago. We really like him. As he was examining Reagan he asked us what the MRI said since he didn’t have the records yet, and we let him know that the entire basal ganglia was damaged. He seemed to be disbelieving of that. “Both sides though?” “Ummm…Yes? […]
One of Reagan’s doctors is moving (waaahhhh!!) He’s Reagan’s neurologist, and one of our three favorite doctors; let me tell you why. You’ve all heard about the things we were told by one of the other neurologists within the practice: “You need to make her comfortable, she won’t do anything, she won’t walk, she may not learn, […]
We just got done with our annual 24-hour EEG and Reagan did awesome. Remember last year’s EEG? We were stuck in a tiny room, in our Dr.’s outpatient facility, it was 80 degrees, we had to share a community bathroom with 12 other patients, Reagan exploded out of her diaper in a bouncer and she […]
