Update

I have had a few people ask me for an update on what is going on. We've actually had another little miracle today! Aaron's medication showed up on our door step. It took less than a week! They were telling us it might be a month or more! Ours took less than a week. They called Monday to tell us that it was on its way and today it was there on or door step. I really can't explain what a special blessing that is! I am telling you all those prayers, fasting and more prayers have really paid off! Thank you, thank you to those who have cared and remembered our family!

We are anxious to get him started on the drugs tomorrow, but a little nervous... Aaron especially. We re-read all the side effects tonight and are hoping he doesn't experience many of them. We will just have to wait and see.

As far as Aaron's health goes. Physically he is doing pretty good, he has had a pop up here or there of his speech slurring. We are hoping that the drugs will kick in pretty quick here before he might have another flare. We are pretty confident he will be okay.

He had another MRI done on Saturday. It was long and rough. I think he is ready to be done with those for awhile. They are a little bit of drain emotionally for us both, and I think we are hoping the results will be good. He also finished up his blood work. I think he is happy to have all the poking done for now. We don't know the results of those tests, and probably won't for awhile. I have been asked several times what  they found, and unfortunately it may not be something we know fully all about until his next official doctors appt. We do know if something really bad were to come up, then they would call us in. We will try to keep you posted on anything we learn.

Here we go, we are trying to live our lives normal once again. Most days have been good and we even feel like we are normal again and this was all a bad dream. But, we do have those days where we wake up  and still question, wonder and fear. I'm not sure we've completely faced it all and feel like we are totally strong about it. That will come with time. We appreciate the love and support of those close to us. We have felt so much love. Thank you for your patience with us as we are trying to figure this all out. Some days I personally just don't want to talk about it, and others I do. We don't want to make people feel bad if we aren't up to talking about it, we just are trying to face it one day at a time. That is mainly why we have the blog. We hope it answers questions and allows you to understand where we are coming from.

Much love,
The Meacham's
