They moved us rooms to 3013. We are waiting for Dr Kosnik to do rounds to know what the next step will be.

Update: We took her of the steriods last night to see how well it worked. They have kept her on zantac because she is nasua pretty bad. We will see the doctor tonight and go from there to see if we have to due surgery.

Good Morning, I just wanted to ask you all to Pray really hard for Anna Marie. This morning she woke up and said " Mommy I want to die and go to heaven because this pain is so bad and I won't have pain in heaven". Thank you for your continued prayers.

So last week was a hard week on Anna Marie. Then on friday they tried her on Lasik (waterpill) and she had a allergic reaction to that. On Monday we went to the ped. and she felt her decompression sites and talked with Dr. Kosnik who then intern said we needed to be up there on tuesday to see him. We arrived at 2:15pm on tuesday and saw him at 4:00 when he saw Anna he sent us straight to the hospital to be admitted. At around 8 the started her on some really strong steriods, zantac and back on topomax. We are seeing if that will let Anna get some relief, and then we will do surgery on friday. He moved surgery from today to friday so we will see how Anna is progressing. Thank you for your continued prayers if I don't answer right away I didn't bring the laptop with me so I have to go downstairs and get on the computer.

Good Morning, I wanted to give everyone an update so you can Pray. Since Friday Anna has been having some really bad migraine's. To the point where yesterday she wanted to put her head thru a wall. Lisa is now on the way to school to get her now b/c she is hurting so bad. Also Please Pray for me as its getting harder to watch her be in pain and not being able to take it from her. Thank you for continued Prayers and friendship.

Update

Anna's prognosis is great. There seems to be more good days than bad. She is still suffering from migraine headaches though. She has completely come off of Topomax. A little history behing the Topomax, she has been on it for about 2 years. So we are excited about that being done. It will be another month or two before we know if her surgery worked, but, we are going on on Nov 17th to see the doctors at Ohio State Medical Center in Columbus, OH. They will make the determination on whether another brain surgery is needed or not. Please be in prayer for us as we make that trip.

A big THANK YOU!!

Anna's Car Show was a smashing success. There were a few minor glitches here and there. Primarily with us getting the judges all there to start the judging, but I take responsibility for that. I apologize to the car show participants. I was getting pulled 30 different directions all day. I didn't even eat until about 9 that night. A big thank you to everyone that came out and helped to support Anna Marie. A big thank you to Vendetta Pizza Cafe for hosting the show. A big thank you to all the volunteers, from parking, manning the booths, musicians, judges and anyone else who was involved THANK YOU, we couldn't have done it without you.

Anna Marie's Car Show needs Volunteers this Sunday!!

This Sunday, at Vendetta's Pizza 1170 Hwy 155 South McDonough, GA 30253, is Vendetta's Fundraising Car Show for Anna Marie!! They have been planning it for a long time and we hope it will be a success. We aplogize it is on a Sunday, as many of you know, if the church doors are open then we are there, but this is the only day they could use the entire parking lot. The other stores in the strip mall are open Monday through Saturday and so the only day they can do it is Sunday. We need a minimum staff of about 24 volunteers. We need 4 for registration, 4 more traffic, 2 for inflatable toys watching, 6 judges for the cars (you must be at least semi experienced with cars), 3 for security, and 4 to sell raffle tickets. Now this is the bare minimum, so the more, the merrier. The car show is open to the public from 12pm-6pm. We need all volunteers there by 10:30 am, due to the fact that cars will start coming in and registering starting at 11 am and we need to have a group meeting at about 10:35 am to get people on the same sheet of paper. Please email me back or call me at 404-348-7681 if you can help.
