Hello all! Thanks for your prayers and thoughts. I am feeling better these days, and am in much better spirits!Since the last update, I went back to the eye doctor to only find out that my vision is worse. He is hopeful, however, for a recovery once my body has a chance to repair. No necessarily a full recovery, but a good one. With prayer, though, I am confident that I will regain sight. The good news is, is that I do not have glaucoma at this time..but I am a good candidate for it in the future. Let's hope I never get that!
I am very lucky to have great friends in this area, that have volunteered to drive me to my doctors appointments. This week, I had 3 appointments. The first was to a GI specialist to talk about my elevated liver levels. He scheduled an ultrasound of my liver which I had yesterday, and I am awaiting the results on. On Tuesday, I saw my neurologist again, and he wants me to go ahead and start medicine for MS. He sent me home with lots of information on different drugs and he wants me to pick one out. The downfall I see, is that they are all injections I have to give myself, one as much as once a day...bummer!!! He also wants me to go on a "diet" per say, more a lifestyle change, for people with MS. I am looking into that...it is supposed to give you a happier, healthier life with MS. ( All of this and he still has not technically diagnosed me with MS ) It is a very difficult disease to diagnose. Yesterday, I saw my OB that delivered Emily, and everything is as it should be....at least something in my body is going well!
Next week I have 2 appointments. One Monday, I will be having my second MRI, this time on my spine to detect any inflammation there. And on Friday, I see the neurologist again. I will keep everyone posted once I find out something.
The good news in all of this, is that I am regaining feeling back in my right arm, etc and I feel like I may be seeing better....I am not sure if I am truly seeing better, or if my brain is just starting to interpret this as "normal" and compensating. Rich says to take the positive route, and say it is getting better...let us hope! God Bless you all and thank you for everything. Your support is really helping to get me through all of this!!

Emily is adorable. I think she looks like Mom, but don't take that personally, Daddie Rich. She'd be adorable if she looked like you too!
