Any prayers are so appreciated, and I also just thought I'd follow up with what is going on:
March 20 I'm taking Luke to a special eye doctor who does vision therapy, he still has a lot of visual stims and tends to look out of the corner of his eye at things/people. His reading is still a struggle too even though I can see the incredible intelligence there, so the next logical step seems to be to check out his vision, not only the physical eyesight but if any weird neurological issues are going on there. I'm praying this IS an issue for him so we can focus on correcting it and see more progress made for him.
March 21 (yes, next day) I have my colonoscopy, this is a follow up from the one I had 3 years ago where they removed precancerous polyps. Obvioulsy praying all is clear this time.
March 27/28 - Here is the big one, tentative on the schedule we are going up to DC to see that expert radiologist. It is strange to be so excited about something and scared at the same time!! I want to feel better SOOO badly, yesterday was not a good pain day, so I'm motivated, but at same time I've had this procedure done once before, it is eery to be semi-awake and know what is going on while they are weaving catheters and metal and such through your veins, starting up at the jugular all the way down to your ovaries/pelvis... call me a baby but I'm getting majorly creeped out just thinking about it. Honestly it is a "simple procedure" that is done all the time but truth is I was less scared the first time when I didn't know what I was getting into.
And EVEN SO, that procedure, though not done completely, did make me feel TONS better for several months, so if this guy finishes the job and does it all right, I should feel GREAT within a couple weeks following. Oh my gosh I will be THRILLED!!!! Situation right now is I have to play that "spoon" game with everything I do... make choices based on whether something will make me hurt too much to do the NEXT thing I have to do... but I have to do it ALL... gee, I can't wait for this to end, Lord willing!
(btw, that's my hubby with Sarah at the pool couple summers ago, one of my favorite pics of him)
