Brief Update

 Rie is still quite sluggish, thought to be a side effect of the anti-seizure medication. Our morning routines are running into our evening routines!  Expected to get better within a month🙏.  A new but very tiny pinpoint sized opening on the scalp scar showed up two days ago but the surgeon is not concerned and told me to just keep it clean and apply antibiotic ointment twice a day. It already looks like it is filling up.🙏.  We’re spending a lot of time in Mia’s room, just chatting; a wonderful blessing; our favorite time!❤️🙏

    Lord Jesus we know that you have Rie and the Askari family in your hands. We pray that their strength and fortitude be increased through this period of difficulty until her healing is completely manifested. Trusting in you Lord to fulfill your words that everything will be alright.

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. ❤️🙏
