Hello everyone. Just wanted to tell everyone how much I love and sincerely appreciate each of you from the bottom of my heart. I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from our beautiful community who i now consider a part of my big extended family. A little bit of sunshine in this storm... I just had an eye exam and praise God there is no damage to my eyes from the stroke. Just a little bit more wear tear on the eyes of an almost 43 year young woman. Thank you for all of the love, prayers, encouragement, shares and beyond generous donations to my family and me. Every one of you has made the biggest difference in my life and in the lives of my husband, our children and even our fur babies. Thank you all so much. I will continue to to keep you updated and pray for each of you. Lots of love, Tonya❤

Today is the 2nd full day of being on my new additional medication. I honestly can't say if it's working. Too soon to tell. What I can say as that for the last two mornings I've slept later than I have since this has all happened.  Until Topamax was introduced I slept until 0230-0300 max. Yesterday I slept until 0500 and today until just before 0700. Hopefully that means this new med is helping..... at least lessening the severity of the seizures that  are occurring... the worst happening at night. My repeat MRI will take place the day before Thanksgiving. Hopefully it'll bring more clarity. I continue to be amazed by the outpouring of love and support that all of you are showing to my family and me. Saying thank you doesn't seem quite enough, but it's all that comes to mind. Jusr know that I/we could not make it without each and every one of you. and I pray that God blesses you bigger than you all have blessed us. 🙂

Hello everyone. Here's an update about  today's neurology appointment and which medication to add. to my current regimen. 

Mu neurologist has also ordered another MRI to make sure that they aren't missing anything and to take a closer look at the 2 small lesions caused by the stroke.. after this next set of meds  are fully onboard, and the results of the new MRI will determinre if I'll need another 72 hour or longer eeg and then we will discuss going to the neurology clinic at mayo clinic. I will continue to update everyone. Thank you and God bless. 

Good morning. i wanted to thank everyone for the outpouring of love and support. I wanted to share a few photos of my family so that you can see who your prayers and generous donations are blessing. 

Tomorrow I meet with my neurologist to discuss if the current anti seizure medication that I'm on is working. There's a possibility of adding an additional medication to the keppra or switching it all together. There will be discussion about sending me to the Mayo clinic to try and pinpoint the exact cause of the seizures which will result in the best form of treatment. Although a lot of progress has been made, there is still a long way to go. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for sharing it. Thank you to everyone who has donated as well.
