The Good The Bad And The Ugly

As we begin the last week of February, I look back and see what a full month it has been. We've celebrated love, friendship and birthdays and have reminded ourselves that each new day is truly a gift. At the beginning of this month I received a medical report that I tested positive for an autoimmune disorder with the highest possibility of it being Lupus. I will be seeing a specialist to look into it further. Even though this was not a final diagnosis, my body has been exhibiting symptoms for quite some time and now we have a name and a clearer focus. We will learn more in the days ahead about treatment options, etc. Right now we are learning about what Lupus is. Holy moly. It's not a pretty picture. My days are either good, bad or ugly. Mostly a mixture. If you pray, please pray for strength and for a pathway to wellness. I mostly want more of a determination to live my life as fully as I can and to give my family my best. They deserve so much more than to have a wife and mother living with a chronic disorder. They are being sweet and supportive and I am so thankful for my hubby, our two boys and our new furbaby.
