She said, "I love you to the moon." He said, "I love you to the sun, because it's hotter." (she laughed) Together, they are living happily ever after.

When life hands you lemons...make lemonade....wth a shot of vodka!
As most of you know my sissy has been having some severe headaches. About a week ago she went to a neurologist and he sent her to have a MRI. After the MRI the radiologist suggested that she make a urgent appt. with her neuro. So yesterday at 11am I went with my sis to find out what they had for us! Hemorrhage or growth is the verdict and either way it requires a "large dose" of radiation to the brain. If it is a hemorrhage then it will continue to bleed and her headaches will get worse which I am not sure at this point they can get worse! The radiation will either shrink the growth or cauterize the bleeding. We are gonna start with a angiogram first where they shoot a dye in to the brain to actually locate the mass. Then her treatments will start ASAP! I have to admit when the doc said radiation Ash and I were both like SWEET...its the chemo where you lose your hair and get sick, but unfortunately with radiation on the brain its a guarantee you will lose your hair. Tough times ahead I tell ya, but we can do this! Is this life threatening? At this point we think not! Ashley is handling the news quiet well, I think she always just knew something was there and in a way she is glad to have an answer. Her questions are will radiation make me thin? Seriously that's the Underwood in her!! I told her if it does my butt is sitting right beside her during the process for any benefit, thats the Underwood in me. She is a strong woman! God never gives you more than you can handle right!? She is just ready for the pain to go away. Prayers are the only thing I am asking for at this point.

I'm here praying every step of the way!!
ReplyDeleteI am praying for your sissy. You Underwoods are tough and I know this is one more obstacle you will get through. Ya'll stick together and your love (and a little help from God) will see you through to the other side. I'm nothing more than a phone call away if you ever need anything... babysitting, a listening ear, comic relief... anything you need doll baby, you just ask.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of you all. I'm glad she at least has some answers & she will pull through this!
