Family health issues: We’ll take our Utah trip next year!

Utah's Zion Angels Landing hikeA change of plans is something that can cause stress … but nothing like the stress of having a child with a medical condition, no matter their age.

Brenda’s younger sister Ann and her husband Gary have a grown daughter who has overcome hurdle after hurdle in living with a chiasmal optic glioma. It has not only impact her eyesight, but occasionally head pain — severe headaches.

Sarah was on vacation with friends this past week at their condo in the mountains of Utah and was taken to the hospital suffering from severe head pain. CT scans and MRI later have convinced doctors that the altitudes while hiking in the mountains could be the cause.

In our case, we were planning to join Ann and Gary in a couple day along with Brenda’s older sister and husband for some family time together. But with this latest medical situation have decided to pospone our trip and get together … we’re now thinking 2025 (bummer, Annie had permits to hike Zion National Park’s Angel Landing hike too). ☹️
