It's been almost a year since I first posted here about Ambria and her struggle with Post Concussion Syndrome . At that time Ambria had already been suffering for a year, and I was at the end of my rope. To quickly recap, Ambria came home from a church dance with a debilitating Migraine one day in late February of 2015. And it didn't go away. For months. She couldn't go to school, or church, or out with friends. Life sort of came to a stand still for her. She spent most of her days sleeping, and when she wasn't asleep she was like a zombie and in so much pain. She was eventually diagnosed with Post Concussion Syndrome. She'd suffered multiple sports concussions from playing soccer. She was just supposed to try and treat the pain while waiting for her brain to start working properly again. We had many doctor's visits, tests, dietary changes, different perscriptions, so many things to try and help with the pain. Nothing helped. Months kept passing with
Detroit, Michigan. That's where my boy will be serving for the next 2 years. Perhaps he won't be right in the city the whole time. Perhaps he won't spend any time in the city at all. But the Michigan, Detroit mission is where he has been called to serve. I don't think it has completely hit me yet. It's not really possible to comprehend the reality of Kaden being 1,600 miles away for 2 solid years with only written contact except for the 2 times a year he will be able to call/skype home. Like, I literally can't imagine what it will be like or how it will feel. I'm sure it's going to be hard at times, that I'll miss him like crazy and just want to hear his voice. We've always had a close relationship and we talk about anything and everything. It's hard to imagine only speaking in person 4 times over the next two years. But there is absolutely no place I'd rather have him be, and nothing else I'd rather have him doing than
