Kirby Yates & Ashlee Rowe relationship
Yates and Ashlee tied the knot on January 2, 2016.
She and Yates, who met in college and have been together for 15 years.
Currently, they are blessed with 2 children.
Ashlee Rowe diagnosed with epilepsy
Shortly after giving birth to her second child in July of 2018, Ashlee Yates, experienced a seizure one night in bed.
Her husband, Kirby Yates, at first thought she was having a dream.
It turned out she was having an epileptic episode.
There was no history of epilepsy in her family, and she still hasn’t identified a cause.
“I knew following the birth of my daughter in July 2017 that something was ‘off,’ but had no idea epilepsy would be the diagnosis a year later. My initial reaction was fear. Was it something I could pass on to my kids?” she says.
The diagnosis greatly impacted her life — she couldn’t drive, bathe her kids or do simple tasks made too dangerous by risk of seizure.
Ashlee’s seizures are under control with medication now, allowing her to resume driving and normal activities.
She is grateful to Epilepsy Foundation support groups, resources and education which sped her learning curve on the disorder and connected her with others dealing with it.
