Relief!

We are feeling so relieved and blessed to know that Ashlyn's MRI was normal - or according to Ashlyn, she has no "rotting parts" in her head, lol! We also know she does indeed have a brain, in case you were wondering :) Now that we know the abnormal EEG was not caused by anything "rotten", we can just keep a close eye on her and make sure she takes her medicine. Still kinda scary, but at least manageable. The MRI itself went well. We were kinda worried we wouldn't be able to see anything because the tech said her braces might block out the picture, but thankfully it worked! She was in there about 30 minutes, got to listen to George Strait, and almost fell asleep! I was able to stay in the room with her, so that made us both feel better I think. At first we thought we wouldn't hear the results until the next day, but our doctor was so kind as to call us that evening and share the good news. We all slept much better that night!!!

In other news, Ashlyn has started playing basketball. Tuesday they played and lost 39-12, but Ashlyn made 3 of the baskets! We later found out they were mistakenly playing a varsity team, so that actually wasn't too bad! Today they played a team more on their level and won 21-19. Ashlyn scored 3 points - she is doing so much better this year at being aggressive and taking initiative, which she needs to do being point guard.


Here is a picture I took of her before the game:

And here she is shooting a free throw:
