My New Lucky Charm

I had a really good doctors appointment today. I went to the neurologist with one of my sisters (in law). My hubby had to work and every time I have gone by myself I get not so good news. She knew where the new office was and is awesome at navigating a parking garage. (Sometimes I feel like country mouse in the city. Have you read that story? Good story.) Anyways, we find the office and waited to see the doctor. When he comes in he notices that I have lost weight. :) And then he tells me the good news. My MRI shows no new lesions and some of the old ones were gone. He wants me to continue on the medicine I am taking and come back in 6 months for a follow up and MRI. I have been going for every 4 months since I was diagnosed. He also gave me a prescription for a new medicine to help with my fatigue. I'll let you know how that goes. I was still nervous about this appointment even though I had already checked on my MRI results. I think it is the fear of the unknown that gets ya. So, since I received such good news perhaps I have a new lucky charm that needs to come with me to all of my appointments. :) In all seriousness I was prepared to be thankful to the Lord for whatever the news was. I know that He will get us through anything that this MS can throw at me. "The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him." Exodus 15:2

Hobby

Have I told you about my cake hobby? I can't remember. On occasion I will make birthday cakes for my kids or my family. I really enjoy it. I want to eventually take some classes to learn some new techniques. I also have talked with a lady who said she would show me how to make some flowers. Right now I look on the Internet and in books for ideas and tips on how to decorate them. I also have an awesome hubby who helps me with them as well. And one of my sister-in-laws helped me make a groom's cake. I still need more practice and to learn more. Thankfully it is a delicious hobby to practice. :)

Party Prep

Today we are getting ready for Valentine's Day parties tomorrow at our elementary school. My little bit is so excited because she gets to stay all day at school. She normally stays only half day. She also was able to stay all day earlier this week because of the 100th day of school celebration. She would love to stay all day every day. I try to tell her that every year after this one she will stay all day. It is hard to understand when you are five. It is also pj and crazy hair day. I will try to post a picture later. I'm sure it will be an interesting day.

MRI Results

I called and talked to one of the nurses at my doctor's office. She said that the doctor had already seen my results and said no new lesions. This is really good news. I am glad to hear that perhaps this medicine I am on is finally doing something to slow down my MS. After the first medicine I was on didn't work, I was half expecting this one to not work when they kept finding new lesions. I still have an appointment in a couple of weeks with the doctor. I will let you know what he has to say after we see him.
