Prepping for MSU

Ashlynn's next appointment is Thursday the 11th at Michigan State University. We are going to visit a Nuero-ophthalmologist. He is supposed to be one of the best in the state, even out ranking University of Michigan.

I'm not sure how well you can see the letter they sent me, I blurred out everything to just point out to you the length of our appointment. Atleast 4 hours, and we need to be atleast a half an hour early. Let me tell you I'm going to be bouncing off the walls. At this point I'm anxious to find out any new information however. I'm also hoping they will be able to tell me more about when the chemotherapy and radiation may start.
Their website gave me a lot more information about what exactly they do. It eased my nervousness a little bit and hopefully I can start to explain to more people what is going to happen.
Ashlynn is in a very good mood today and was up to her normal antics. We took her to her cousin Alex's baseball game last night. She really enjoyed herself! She got to see her grandparents and a her aunt and uncle. There was even a special visit from Uncle Kevin, which we got to hear about the whole way home. I noticed last night that Ashlynn turns her head more than normal children to be able to see out of her good eye. Also when the light is brighter for her she closes that eye a little more as if to shield it. I'm waiting to find out more information from our local ophthalmologist about when she will be put into glasses to protect her right eye. It seems like she struggles more daily to see out of the right eye and I worry about her vision.
She never hesitates for a CHEESE moment.

Today my Goals Are
  • To maintain as much of a normal night at work as possible.
  • Research more into my MSU visit
  • Call a therapist about being seen for counseling
  • Help another person in need
