Since posting the Walk MS link and mentioning that I was walking for my daughter, Melissa I have received a few messages asking questions and showing concern which I do appreciate. Many are shocked because I have never posted about it publicly and I have talked to very few about it privately. Why? I guess there are many reasons. It is a very complicated disease and many people dont know much about it, it is very unpredictable and I dont want people to feel bad, just to name a few. MS can take YEARS to diagnose and due to a car accident in 2006 that left her with a TBI and a bleeding brain the diagnoses was prolonged even further. For the last 8 1/2 years we have been to numerous Specialists, Neurologist, etc and she has had countless MRIs, CTs, etc and even a spinal tap. Yes, I said we because even though she is 25, married, has a baby and one on the way I am still 100% involved in her medical care as far as that is concerned and I will be as long as she allows me to be. Due to her pregnancy she is unable to have treatments but on the positive side pregnancy tends to ease the symptoms of MS. What is going to happen in 4 months? 6 months? Tomorrow? Who knows. All anybody has is TODAY! Today she is ok and that is all that matters. Just like anything else it is one day at a time. I think we do one hell of a job at keeping each other positive. When one is down we lift the other up. And yes I turn to God a lot. #msmelissastevens #msmystrength #msmelissastrong
