... and yet another week goes by. Did I notice? Not really. I spent whatever time I can these days laying down as I just don't have the energy to do much. My body is always in pain and it wakes me up at night. Today, Thanksgiving Day, I spent the day in bed sleeping off and on until around 1pm. I had barely enough energy to turn from side to side. It's times like this that make me so sad, to see that I'm missing out on family outings or just plain ole playing with my kids. I would have loved to go out for a Fall hike today with the fam.
I have old MS symptoms showing up again -- my hands are starting to become cold like ice again, and I am experiencing some temporary (off and on) weakness in my right leg.
On the other hand, there is so much to be thankful for. A family that I did not know personally, but rather heard about through friends, recently lost their 5 year old daughter to a brain tumor after fighting their battle for two long years. I cannot imagine the heartache that this family is dealing with. It reminds me of the e.coli situation we dealt with with our boys, and delivering baby Julianna while they were hospitalized -- and not knowing if they would end up in heaven, or end up recovering. What a stressful time that was. So it brings all that back to memory and makes me very thankful that I'm in a season where my children are healthy.
This time is bittersweet I suppose -- thankfulness of my family's health yet sadness that I cannot partake in living life with them. One minute at a time.
