From Rick....
Let me say first that this is several cut and pastes and took me several days as typing and anything requiring brain power or concentration is really hard!
We went in for a CPAP Sleep study test to see how I do sleeping with the apnea machine.
I have to wear an aquaman man mask that is even more attractive than my normal ravishing self and will look great with my green Mohawk!
We then drove to University Florida Gainseville where we met with Dr. Steven Roper an epileptic neurosurgeon. He explained that I have a Cortical Displasure or abnormal growth of brain , a lesion... I think that should make me wicked smart!!! It could also be a D Net Tumor but we won't know till we get in there! The Mohawk is looking pretty likely.
The next step is for me to go and do an EEG study where they take me off my meds and they induce siezures for a week at UF Gainesville. So all you gator fans better come visit :) I go to Gainesville for that study on Dec 6th.
By the way we really like Dr. Roper as he gave us good, specific answers. And he really cared about my quality of life. What's really rad is that the Great Physician is leading this whole process.
Dr. Roper says the next step after the EEG study is to make a decision on if I need brain surgery. If that is the case they should schedule the surgery quickly. There are two options for surgery and both are daunting. But my savior hung a cross so I'm pretty sure God will guide me through either option.
Thank you so much for all the love, prayers, visits, cookies, and pledges for green mohawks.
The hand of God is all over this especially in community. I feel so loved by Him, through you.
Those of u who have pledged to get a green mohawk will be contacted by Brian Horn shortly. And yes, we are still taking open pledges :)
