Yesterday as Ashlyn started waking up from her sedation, she started having seizures. They called them focalized. Basically her right side of her face started twitching. They gave her more of her anti-seizure meds, and they stopped through the night. This moring they started again with a little more twitching on the right side of her body. She had a CT scan done and Neurosurgery said that everything looked fine and in fact it looked better than the last scan. The Attending Dr. said that she probably has been having seizures all along, it's just that we have not seen them until now being off sedation. So she was put on another anti-seizure med. and they are putting her back on some sedation. The Dr. also said that hopefully as she heals more and the blood that is still there gets re-absorbed in her body, that these seizures should stop. She will be in anti-seizure meds for months.
Yesterday when she was awake a little, it looked like she was watching Sponge Bob. She watched Sponge Bob all the time last time she was in the hospital. We think we may have even seen a smile.
Thanks for keeping Ashlyn in your prayers. This has been a emotional roller coaster for Todd and I. But we keep holding onto God and know that He is in control.
Oh Ashlyn you're beautiful EYES!! It's sooo nice to see them!! I've been sitting here (trying to be patient) waiting to see this news!! I'm sooo grateful the drs said everything looked even better than last time, THANK YOU GOD!! I heard about your cuddling time and I had tears of joy! I am still praying Ashlyn will surprise everyone when she pulls through this and is herself again! I'm always praying and thinking of you all! We LOVE you guys!!

We wait and wait
ReplyDeleteas time goes by
Hoping and praying
for just one little sign
But our loving Father
Soo faithful and true
Gave Liz and Todd not one...but "TWO"
These signs are a symbol of hope
For all us to praise
The goodness of God
Throughout these long days
We now look forward
To a glimmer and a smile
From this one so precious
Lizzie's baby, Todd's child
Refreshment of faith
keeps us "warriors" renewed
As we wait expecting
For more "Happy" news
"So press in and go forth
With fasting and prayer
Be confident,
that every need in her body
Is under my care
Confusion, anxiety
is not coming from me
I'm peace and faith
And all you can't see
I'll strengthen you
Bless you
Provide all your needs
While "BELOVED" the "Church"
Remain on their knees
Be at peace my dear children
I come to reveal
Ashlyn & Jesus
Have "Secrets' concealed
For you will remain
in a state of awe
As I reveal myself
during these days...you've endured
A mist of my spirit
Will touch your sweet souls
As I allow you to see
My Glory Unfold
I love you,I hear you
Your Ashlyns,is "MY" care
Continue in vigilance
Your courage to bear
Others will see
the faith that you harbor
And many will acknowledge
MY most powerful father"
"From the heart of God....."
I will remind you always, what God has spoken
This will be his "earnest"...his own special token
Use it as your staff, when your heart starts to fail
Just never forget..I'm behind every vail!
Hi Ashlyn! Did I tell you how beautiful you look with your new hair do? Rita is coming to spend the night with me....maybe when you get better, you and Rita can come to my house together. Or we can go swimming at Aunt Robin's together...I like that idea better! Keep taking them turtle steps and I'll keep praying for you! Say Hi to Mom and Dad!
