A little bit of an update...

Well seeing as I haven't written in a while, I figured this would be a good time to update my life.

I've been working at Trader Joe's all summer and I love it! Good job, great people to work with and I love working with mom, it makes work a lot more enjoyable!

Well a few weeks ago, I started feeling a pins and needles feeling in my fingers of my left hand. I went to a chiropractor and it went away for a few days. Then unfortunately, my entire left side went numb. Then one day while at work I realized that I was seeing double. Went back to the Chiropractor and he could help.

We went to our family practice doctor and she suggested I get an MRI. This was on July 2nd, so later that night I went down to the hospital to get an MRI but the doctor I saw suggested that I be admitted to the hospital and do enough tests for them to figure out exactly what was going on. I ended up staying until this morning (the 4th) and after a plethora of tests over the last couple days the doctors still do not have a definite diagnosis, but they all seem pretty certain that it is Multiple Sclerosis. At first when I heard this I was pretty scared but I got a bunch of VERY comforting nurses, and GREAT doctors, I really don't feel scared.

Every case of MS is different, so there's no way to tell what my situation will be. I'm not worried. I know my Heavenly Father is watching me and has a plan for me so if I can keep the eternal perspective in mind, I can keep all fear out.

I thanks all my family for the prayers sent my way. I really felt the love and spirit while in the hospital. I love you all very much!!!

I'll be sure to update with details when they come!
