About Ava Rose Gehrung: Ava Rose Gehrung is a 9-year-old girl from the town of Erin. Her parents, Brian and Nancy Gehrung, adopted her from China just over 3 years ago. Soon after bringing her home, it was discovered that Ava had a stroke at birth that destroyed 75% of the left side of her brain. As a result, Ava has weakness along the right side of her body (mostly in her arms and legs), speech difficulties, cognitive delays, sensory processing issues and uncontrolled seizures.
Currently Ava receives physical, occupational and speech therapies on a weekly basis. However her family’s biggest worry is getting her seizures under control. To do this there are two options: invasive and risky brain surgery that would result in Ava losing part of her vision or taking Ava to a state where CBD Oil is legal and accessible to pediatric patients.
