Surgery on May 3rd

 Scalp scar revision with possible alloderm skin graft scheduled for May 3rd. Outpatient or one night stay.  That area of the scalp is very thin from five previous surgeries.  It is at risk for breakdown and getting the implant infected.  It's not the best feeling to think about a sixth surgery but it is definitely needed for a peace of mind.  We're very thankful for Rie's kind and thorough surgeon.  He is considered to be one of the best. Prayers are appreciated. ❤️🙏

Rie walked 240 feet with the rollator.  All I had to do was keep her from running!

 EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT! Hi.  This is Sasan.  On Friday, July 30th, 2021, my wife Rie woke up from a  dream that she shared with my 13-year-old daughter, Mia.  This was an unusual dream.  Rie had never had a dream like that before.  Rie told my daughter that in the dream she "felt surrounded by God's presence", telling her: "EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT".  Rie and Mia wondered about the meaning of such a strange dream.  We praised God for the message. A few hours later while Rie, Mia, my brother and I were eating lunch at a restaurant, Rie had a 30-second seizure.  The restaurant "happened" to be next to St David's Medical Center Emergency Room.  Within one hour, she had a life-saving craniotomy to evacuate a massive intracranial hemorrhage.  Going from the ER to the CT scanner, then to the OR within an hour is unheard of.  To have the best and the kindest neurosurgeon on call and immediately available was clearly a mira...

 Today is Mia's 16th birthday.  The three of us went shopping for clothes for her yesterday.  It was the first time in over two years that Rie shopped without a wheelchair, using just a standard quad walker.   It almost felt like a normal pre-stroke shopping day, including the backache I used to get whenever we went shopping for clothes! Praise God. ❤️🙏
