What is normal?

Normal, for me,

is constant pressure and ache in the head.
When the normal gets taken away
and exchanged for dreadful then,
when you get the normal back,
it becomes so beautiful!

I'm not quite there yet, but I can feel myself getting back into the "normal".

I still feel a bit fragile.

In fact, just after I told Andrew that I was feeling more like my old self, I kept saying words backwards or mixed up.

Then I got my coffee cup out
and went to pour in the milk (I like to warm up my milk before I put my coffee in so it doesn't cool off the coffee).
Well, I began pouring my milk onto the BOTTOM of my coffee mug, the mug was upside down.

I just had to laugh.

I felt like a crazy person thinking that they were sane but all the while they are crazy so how could they say they were sane if they don't know what sane is?!

The kids are doing great through all of this.

We are thankful for the family and friends who have generously helped us with taking care of the kids and providing meals.
I could not have lived through this week without you!

Even last night when I was feeling better I ended up having to put ear plugs in because my head was still sensitive and I felt like I was in a small room with a circus!

Andrew has been my knight in shining armor.

He has taken on his normal work load and come home to chaos and dealt with it all in stride. He has served me and looked out for my needs. He's been on the phone constantly dealing with hospitals, insurance, doctors and airlines trying to get things worked out.












We are leaving on Monday for Arizona,
Mayo Clinic!
I don't know much more than that they are going to run me through some more tests.
I don't know how they are going to fix this.
I don't know how long we will be there.
I don't know....?


But I do know we are GOING!

I do know that we are on the right track for healing.

I do know that God has taken care of us this far and He will continue to care for us and guide us through the next steps.
