Hi all!
I know that I have MIA for quite some time now. I haven't had much time to get online lately. I have been dealing with other issues currently, so I still have yet to start a routine again. I did, however, lose pretty much all I had gained previously. Bummer
At any rate, to catch those of you I talked to frequently up to date...here's what has been going on...
Still having issues with my son, but found out that he does not have ADHD...he has been depressed. Which can present itself in some of the same ways. We are working alot with him to get things back on track.
A few months ago, my husband was having problems with his neck. For really no explainable reason, but they sent him to physical therapy for a month or so. It seemed to get better, until the pain moved into his back. Well, needless to say, a few weeks ago he began to have numbness in his toes. This turned into complete numbness of the feet. He has been back and forth to the doctor so many times in the last few months, you'd think he lived there.
He went back on Monday and was referred to a neurologist for further testing...did I mention that his mother had multiple sclerosis? Well, her first symptoms were numbness in the hands and feet...so they are concerned about that too. For many years they told us that MS was in no way hereditary....but who really knows? They still know very little about it! So apparently now, they are saying that if you have a parent or twin who has been diagnosed with MS, you are more likely to get it too...
His mother died almost two years ago....and we all watched her suffer for years with this disease. So it is rather frightening to have to wait around and see what comes of all the tests they have done and are currently doing. Today he goes in for his MRI to see if they can identify any lesions on the spine/brain....I am so nervous because I just never thought this would be possible. I never imagined that this would ever be a factor for him.
I now am terrified for my daughter...I know...she is only three years old, but just don't want her to have anything like this happen to her down the road. Maybe I am going overboard here...but I am terrified.
I haven't slept in weeks. I am just here, trying to pretend this isn't happening.
Ok...this is alot longer than I anticipated it to be...so for that I am sorry.
I hope everyone is doing well and happy.
Miss you guys!
Love,
Kelly
