Bri is doing very well today. Since the incident, she’s had no lingering effects or sensations from last Fri. night’s episode.
She tolerated today’s chemo treatment without more than an upset stomach.
Her oncologist reviewed the MRI that was performed today and found nothing abnormal. Her neurosurgeon wasn’t able to visit with her today, but will see her tomorrow morning to give his opinion of the MRI in the context of last Fri. night’s episode.
Last Sat., when Bri told us about her Fri. night episode, she failed to mention a key bi of information. Fri. evening, she and Eric had gone to dinner and while they were out she experienced a headache that caused her to see a bright flash of light.
During today’s visit she told the oncologist about the headache. He told her the bright flash of light and sensations she felt after returning home last Fri. night and resting for a little while were more likely indicative of a migraine induced episode, and probably not associated with any type of TIA or mini-stroke (blood clot or hemorrhage induced). Yes, Bri, Eric, and all of us breathed easier when we heard that.
Because Bri spoke with the neurosurgeon last Fri. night during the episode and at that time he suspected the event might have been an anomaly, we anticipate that tomorrow he’ll probably confirm the oncologist’s findings and determination.
Teri and I look forward to spending time in the Mesa Temple early tomorrow morning. It’s where we go to be close to the Lord, Bri and all of you. It’s a nice way to start the day.
One last positive note . . . this afternoon Bri told us her hair is growing. Yippee!
Keep the faith! The miracle continues.
Rick
Faith is not believing that God can . . .
it's knowing that He will.
