The Latest...
Well life has been a little crazy around here lately so here is a little update on Brandon and I..
Brandon had knee surgery..
This poor guy tore his meniscus but the surgery was successful and they were actually able to repair it.. which is REALLY good in the long run because he won't get arthritis and stuff when he's older. When we were waiting for him to go back for surgery he kept saying "I hope they can repair it, I want to be able to run around with our children." I couldn't help but smile. I have such a wonderful husband.
(He says he was posing for this, but he really was nervous!)
Now for my update..
over the past few weeks I have been having some eyesight problems. Where I would completely loose my eyesight at times and have terrible headaches. I started going to the doctor and they were worried about a brain tumor. FREAKY! So after CT scans MRI's and Spinal taps, they haven't been able to find any tumor, which is a really really good thing. They diagnosed me with Pseudo Tumor Cerebri- Here is their definition:
Pseudotumor cerebri (SOO-doh-too-mur SER-uh-bry) occurs when the pressure inside your skull (intracranial pressure) increases for no obvious reason. Symptoms mimic those of a brain tumor, but no tumor is present. Pseudotumor cerebri can occur in children and adults, but it's most common in women of childbearing age.
So there ya have it, they really have no idea why this is happening to me... So now I have become a guinea pig in a study with experimental medicine and frequent doctor visits. It's been a very WEIRD experience if I don't say so myself.
I've found a larger meaning of faith during the experience and am so grateful for the love of my family and friends and our Heavenly Father who has comforted me the entire way through and to my AMAZING husband and best friend I am SO LUCKY!
Sorry this post was so much text.. next time will be a fun post I promise! :)
