Hi! I'm Ashtyn, a sweet little girl who love's life & is a real trooper! In April 2007 I was diagnosed with a very rare auto-immune disorder called Takayasu Arteritis. You can read below to read my full story & please feel free to leave a comment in guestbook. I would love to hear from you.

Yesterday went very well! Ashtyn did great through the anesthesia & was SO big & brave! Greg & I got a huge kick out of her as they gave her some "loopy" medicine prior to her IV start to relax her & boy did it ever. She is quite the character without it, so it just amplified her personality even more, which was a wonderful comic relief.

The doctors called last night & gave us awesome news! They said that there is no change in the damage & that her bloodwork continues to show no signs of active disease! PRAISE GOD! Dr. Cooper (one of her Rheumatologists) said they and her cardiologist, Dr. Balzer are so excited & both will see her back in their offices in December for checkups & bloodwork!

So again, God continues to give us glimpses of His fingerprints, yet blesses us daily with His presence! We cannot stop praising Him!

Thank you for all your love, support & prayers! They bless us more than you will EVER know!

Love you all,

Ragen
