It's just...Thanks for the thorough explanation. It's just a darn shame that it's so complicated with many allergies, sensitivities, nutritional issues, recent illnesses, etc.<br /><br />I wonder if in the future your wonderful Dr. Brain might be able to be more thorough in charting your history, "The Plan" and the problems. Like I said, it's such a shame that you've had to have so many fingers in the "pie." I'm very glad you're proactive, aware, capable, practiced: your own best advocate. I've always found that this HAD to be the case in any of my personal or family medical crises.<br /><br />That awareness was very much reinforced when my first born was 2months old and I started to go partially blind in my right eye. The doctor was very straightforward to tell me that my optic neuritis and prior neurological symptoms indicated a 50/50 chance I had MS. (I do.) My mother was appalled that he would tell me such a thing but his position was "I have hundreds of patients. You have one disease. It's your responsibility to learn everything you can about your condition."<br /><br />This reinforced opinions I'd already formed in prior experiences and that outlook has always proved necessary. I always keep a journal when a family member is hospitalized, etc.<br /><br />So again, thanks for the explanation. You did a great job and you're thinking very clearly, it seems...a middle of the night cold "bed bath" not withstanding!<br /><br />"Stay weak" as in<br /><br />2 Corinthians 12:9-11 (NKJV<br /><br />"And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong."<br /><br />In Him, MichalMichal Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17680002305753968190noreply@blogger.com
