Im writing this post to ask for PRAYER!
I 110%, whole heartily believe and trust in the power of Prayer. I've seen it to much to not believe in it. :)
I'm asking for prayer for myself. Over the past month, my health has gone downhill! Ive been having severe headaches/migraines for a little over a month now! Its been a loooong, depressing time for me, as such a thing can wear on a person mentally, as well as physically. Slowly, symptoms have started to get worse, including particular left eye pain/throbbing, forgetfulness, confusion, and severe lethargy.... so much so that about a week ago, when taking care of Payton in the middle of the night, and being completely out of it, I slipped coming down the stairs, severely bruised/possibly broke my tailbone and fell down the stairs, add that on top of my other issues, and my world has been rocked!
... and no, not in a good way. As you can only imagine, theres nothing good that comes from a tailbone injury and not being able to sit, at all, without severe, breath-taking-away pain. I've been laying in bed a lot the past few days!! My poor kids, and my poor house!!
anyways.... so back to the headaches. I made an eye appointment, because 1- it was due time anyways, and 2- wearing glasses my whole life, I know thats a good starting place for headaches. My vision had changed rather drastically... therefore the Dr. wanted me to get new glasses and THEN see where the headaches take us.
I got my new glasses and the headaches didn't stop, matter of fact, they got worse, including worsened symptoms, and now, wonky vision.
Luckily I had a Doctors appointment with a MD a week later, just to get established in with him, so I knew I was gonna talk to him about the headaches as well. When I saw him, he agreed with the eye DR. on waiting to see if the new prescription helped.
BUT- he referred me to a neurologist for my carpel tunnel (which is another issue for another post) and I knew that that was 1 person that would hear me out a tad more than the other 2 Doctors had.
....and that she did!! She did a few tests on me, and determined that along with all my strange symptoms, loss of menstrual cycle, unexplained weight gain, that I also have loss of peripheral vision in my left eye. The eye that has been bothering me severely!! This all lead her to think that I possibly have a Pituitary Tumor, which is just as it sounds, a tumor in the brain, on the pituitary gland.
In the next couple weeks, I will have an MRI on my brain, and I'm praying the Lords will be done, praying for peace in my soul during a not so peaceful time. Strength for Nat, and myself as we go through this together. (Lord knows I couldn't go through this without a strong fella like him by my side.)
Please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers!!
These poor kids have been dealing with a sad mama thats in a lot of pain and not able to do much for them!!!
