We got Aaron's MRI results back this week. We were excited at first, because they gave us his spine results first and everything looked awesome. Then we realized we didn't have the brain results and had to wait a few more days. Feeling positive after reading the spine results, we were a little disappointed with the brain. We of course don't know much of the medical jargin, so we don't completely understand everything that was reported. We will have to wait until we officially meet with his doctor, but we do know that when it says two new areas that have been effected its not good news. We don't know exactly how bad or what damage happened, but we do know that some has happened. So our long streak of healthy hasn't quite continued, and its back to the doctor to figure out what the next step is.
Aaron's felt fairly well up until January. But it seems, since the new year, we've had problem after problem. From headaches, to lack of sleep, to weird rash break outs, to awful red flare ups and lots of numbness. Nothing that limits him luckily from work or most things he is required in his life, but it sure doesn't make easy. He just doesn't feel good most the time, and that is just plain frustrating and hard. Think about the times you have a headache or feel sick. Now think how relieving it is when thats over and you no longer have it and can continue on with life feeling good. Now picture if it never went away and you always live with some kind of pain or problem! That's Aaron. Yet, he really is optimistic and continues on with his life as if nothing is wrong. It just gets a little harder when its more intense like it has been.
We look forward to a visit with the Dr. and hope that we can figure out how to get him back to that healthier stage. Until then, we've decided to make a few changes to diet and lifestyle to hopefully get him feeling a little better. WE notice that certain foods tend to make him feel not 100% which is probably true for every person. But, they tend to have a greater effect on him. We hope this will help with some of the day to day problems he faces.
We will keep you posted on thing when we know more.
