Blessed

I am, hands down, the most blessed girl in the world. Not only do I have an amazing husband and children, I have amazing parents, siblings, and extended family. Not only that, but I have amazing friends and an amazing body of Christ that I call family. I am blessed. It doesn't get any better than what I have. I am so thankful.
A few of you amazing people that I am so blessed to know and love, are wondering what the latest is with me. Since I wasn't much help here, this is the latest.
I went to the pain specialist in the beginning of April specifically for SI Joint injections. However, when I get there, she wouldn't treat me for that because she said that she believed my SI joint dysfunction was only a part of the problem. A secondary part of the problem. She sent me to gat a CT scan to rule our anything internal. I had the CT scan, went back to the doc, and she was concerned about something she saw on my liver. That's when I decided to wean Sarah, she said that treatment for my liver would require weaning Sarah, so I should start now so that I could do it slowly. So I tapped in to the wonderful world of FB and got some recomendations on formula. We battled that for a few days and she is now taking a bottle well.
Then, I got a phone call from the pain doc saying that she spoke with the radioligist and it turns out that I do not have anything on my liver. So, I don't really have to wean Sarah. However, now that Sarah is taking a bottle well, and I have overcome the sadness of it all, I am going to keep giving her a bottle, more so as a supplement though. I feel so guilty all the time that she is getting trace amounts of pain meds, so now that she is getting formula as well, and not just my milk, I feel less guilty and this gives me the freedom to stay on top of my pain a little more with the meds.
Yesterday, I went to a chiropractor. One is is well respected in our community. I went because my pain is now up in my neck and its sort of like a crick. And sometime my arms and legs are tingly. I just wanted an adjustment to help with my upper back. Also, I have had so many tests on my internal organs that I really believe this is all musculoskeletal stuff that I am dealing with. Dr. Kennell was great.I leaked milk all over my gown and it made things a little uncomfortable when we were talking, but such is life! He took X-Rays and had me sign a release to get all my other stuff (MRI, lab work, etc.). I am going back to him, with Jason to talk on Monday.

His first though is that either I have a pinched nerve, or I possibly may have Rheumatoid arthritis. He said on Monday, he will let me know if he thinks he can help me, or he will refer me to a doctor that he really likes and knows well that treats arthritis stuff. (ha! I don't know all the terminology yet!)

So! That is where we are at! I am sure you can understand, even those of you who are my closest, dearest, friends and family, that I really don't feel up to recounting this stuff over and over. I sort of have the, "don't think about it, just do it" mentality right now.

Oh man, I love you guys. I seriously have the best friends and family EVER!

Now, I am on my way out the door for a weekend away in Fredericksburg. I am so excited to relax and enjoy God's creation in the beauty of the surroundings around me and the people who will be with me!

Until next time!

Love,
