Updated Message from Trisha - Jan 26, 2021
Your outpouring of prayers, love and care is carrying us through some very hard days. I’m back to ask for more prayers. We’re back in the hospital because Richie’s seizures have changed into what we now know are infantile spasms. We are going to address them very intensely for the next month in order to help Richie’s brain calm down in order to develop in all the ways it is capable of developing. Please pray for Richie as he will need two injections (possibly more) a day for the next 2 weeks and then we’ll drop to 1 injection a day for the remaining 2 weeks. In addition to this medication he’ll be on 3 additional medications (during this month) so pray his body will be able to withstand all these medications. Please pray for his little body as it is going through so much. Please pray the medication works and that the medication will arrive ASAP. One answer to prayer is that our health insurance agreed to cover the medication he’ll be taking for the next month. I would love to thank everyone individually (please know we are so grateful) who is walking with us on this journey....for your prayers, for meals, money, flowers, texts, emails, phone calls, and for carrying us in your hearts. We couldn’t do this without you. I apologize if my writing isn’t super clear, my brain is a little cloudy.
When Trish and Rich brought Richie to the doctor last week, they thought it was for torticollis - a tightness in the muscles of the neck. In the days since then, after many doctor visits and many tests, they've learned that Richie had suffered a stroke impacting the right side of his brain. He has epilepsy and cerebral palsy on the left side of his body.
This space is set up as one way to come around this precious family and send them love, support, and care as they begin to absorb the weight of this news; to move forward with physical, occupational, and speech therapies; and to take care of each other.
Other ways to support include: food (sign up for Meal Train here ), prayer, and messages of support and love. Please send cards to:
