This is going to be a long post just to warn you! So lately my right leg has been numb and the numbness has been moving into my stomach and into my arms. I didn't think much of it because I didn't have ANY pain what so ever, and I just thought that it was a pinched nerve from carrying my fat children around. Derek insisted that I go to the doctor. So I went to the doctor and the couldn't figure out what was going on with my body and they gave me some anti inflammatory pills to see if that would help and if it didn't then I would have an MRI done. I went back to the doctor because they didn't help at all, in fact I was becoming more numb! So they scheduled a MRI for me the next day. I had my MRI done on Wednesday and around 5 o'clock I received a phone call from the doctor saying that they saw an unusual spot on my upper back but they didn't get a very good picture of it. From what they could see their guess would be that it was Multiple Sclerosis, aka MS. I thought oh wow great news!! The doctor tole me that I would need more testing done and they scheduled me for Friday. Two hours later Derek's family came up and we all went to the jumpy toys at the Rex Center (I absolutely LOVE them!!) Derek took Karter down the huge slide like he does every other time but this time.................Karter broke his leg!! We went to the ER and they splinted it and it was the longest night of our lives.
The sweet little thing would still smile for the camera even though he had a broken leg.
The next day we spent Thanksgiving with both of our families and had a great time. It was fun to see all of them and spend some time with all of them.
Friday came around and it was back to the hospital for more testing. This time my doctor called and confirmed that I did in fact have MS. It was such a crazy week! We feel truly blessed though that these were the results! We were so nervous for something that could have been so much more serious! I am going to see specialists this week and learn about this disease that I have! With all of the hard times past it really has been a wonderful week! We have experienced so much love and support from all of those around us! Thank You! We will keep you posted.

ReplyDeleteOh Cody! I sure don't envy the week you've had! You are one tough cookie. You'll be in my prayers! Sometimes I wish we could go back to being 15 when the only trouble we had was that we weren't old enough to go to the school dances. And we could just ride our scooters down the streets of kanab listening to the "wear sunscreen" song. But we never took that advice because all we cared about was getting a sun tan! Believe it or not, but I have never taken off that toe ring that your aunt gave me for Easter. I have it on right now. Love you Cody. Call me if you need anything. 360-7953
