It has been so great to see Ashlyn's feisty and funny personality come back! A lady came to play music with the kids on Friday and Ashlyn was playing the drums and calling out song choices. The princess is back in charge! I've noticed that she is less hyper and able to focus for longer periods of time then prior to surgery. She constantly complains her "mouth hurts" but we haven't been able to figure out the cause. This seems to occur primarily when she is about to have to do something she doesn't want to do but there have been episodes while she is sleeping or just relaxing and watching a movie. Let me know if you guys can think of anything that could cause a 4 yr old to say their mouth hurts. There are some theories: nausea, anxiety, oras, radiating pain from the surgery, etc. Prior to surgery, "My mouth hurts," meant she was having seizure activity (oras) or nausea. Other then the mouth thing she is doing really well.

ReplyDeleteMy friend Linda Matzen (a friend of Ashlyn’s grandmother Judy) sent me the link to your blog, which I just finished reading. It really touched my heart and hit close to home. I have a 3 year old daughter and a 2 year old son. My son was born with a partially paralyzed eye and this is something we deal with constantly (multiple doctors, surgeries, etc.). Although it isn't something that keeps us in the hospital, I feel like I can empathize with your situation a little bit. I will pray for your family and your precious Ashlyn. Best of luck to you and your baby girl. ~ Crystal Herrera
