Praise God from whom
all blessings flow! I had my follow-up appointment this morning with the
neuro-opthamologist. All
of the tests came back normal- the blood work, the MRI/MRA (we are still
waiting on the MRV results, but the doctor is confident those will come back
normal as well, based on the MRI and bloodwork). I can't tell you how
incredibly relieved I am! I haven't been able to stop praising God for His
continued watch care over me!
So what's with the
swelling on my optic nerves? Well, he thinks it's pseudo papilledema...but he
thinks it's just something I was born with. My optic nerves were just made
swollen. LOL. Go figure. Always the strange things...he does want me to have
vision field testing every 3 months for the next year to make sure nothing
changes. And if something changes and/or I develop symptoms of any kind, I will
go back to see him for further testing (i.e., spinal tap). But he is
unconcerned that anything will develop- he just thinks I was born this way. Who
knew?
I can't even describe
the sense of relief and joy I felt once that burden was lifted from my
shoulders. My parents were in tears...haha. They had a lot of pent up nerves.
It was such a day of rejoicing and thanking God for His incredible blessings. I
firmly believe in the power of prayer and was able to see God's provision and
power once again through all of the prayers lifted up over just this one
request. It was such a sweet blessing to be able to rejoice with friends and
family over His answer to prayer. So thank
you for all of your prayers and encouragement over the past few
weeks. I cannot tell you how much they mean to me.
I am still waiting to hear
about the job...we're still praying for that one!
