Third Time is a Charm

My expander surgery has been re-scheduled for the third and final time. It will be on March 19th at 9:15 at Swedish Hospital. I moved the date so that my mom can help out with the kids while she's on Spring Break. It was also very important to me to attend the YSC conference, so I will be going afterall.

Merry Christmas

I Don't Have a Brain Tumor

What a day. I found out I don't have a brain tumor! Thank God! I had an MRI of my brain this afternoon. My doctor ordered it because I've had some pretty dramatic changes to my vision. I've been nearsighted since sixth grade, but see 20/20 with contacts or glasses. A few weeks ago my vision became blurry, so I went in for a vision check. My prescription had improved by about half for no apparent reason. I got new contacts and all was well. A week passed and my vision became blurry again. I'm thinking it's age at this point - maybe I need bifocals? I went back to see the eye doctor and my prescription returned to what it had been previously. Today I went in to see my regular doctor to follow up on a sinus infection. I told him about the vision issue and he sent me to get a brain MRI to rule out a brain tumor. I was sick with anxiety, but feel so much better now that it's over. We still don't know what is causing the vision changes, but all is well inside my head.

New Surgery Date

My expander surgery date has been moved to February 26th. I've also canceled my plans to attend the Young Survival Coalition conference in Atlanta. There are lots of changes happening at work and I was unable to take the necessary time off in January.
