Changes. Oh The Changes.

Okay then.
This is not a "please pity me" post.
This is a "to inform" post.
On Friday, my sweet was husband was
diagnosed with Spinal Osteoarthritis.
And his scans also showed the beginning of MS.
Devastating to our little family because as most of
you know, Jameson was looking forward
to a career as an aviator in the US Navy.
Well that is no longer possible because of the toll
this disease has/will on his poor body.
And the Navy sort of frowns upon 'degerative' diseases.
Oh, and MS too.
Along with having his dreams, 'dashed',
if you will, he is in an incredible amount of pain.
And now has to be heavily medicated just to stand being out of bed.
Oh, and just in case this wasn't awesome enough,
last night he lost his job.

So.

Yeah.

Look at this funny pic of Blythe:


Okay.
So now our plans have changed.
There's a little bump in the road.
I'll be going back to work full time.
Sigh. I'll miss my girl.
But ya gotta do, what ya gotta do.
Jameson is going to start seeing some specialists
and come up with a treatment plan.
And hopefully find a part time job.
Oh and start school.
Maybe.

That's where we are now. Things change. We adapt.

And pray a lot.


And sometimes cry.




Double Stuff Oreos are also involved.

They have seriously cured MS over in Italy and are selecting candidates for the procedure.
