well...I would say today was a 4 out of 10. I got my hair cut this morning and then I picked up my friend to go for lunch. on the way to the resturant, I got really nauseated, and told Dawn to grab the garbage can from the back seat and dump out any garbage. So I made it to the next off ramp and started the upchucking while driving. I will spare all the details, but lets say that I nearly ran over a very frightened looking pedestrian and honked my horn with the garbage can. Yuk! I think I just let myself get too hungry. But this was a pretty bad all time low.
The other major news of the week (not that the previous paragraph would qualify as news)...I went to Dr. Jordan, and got some bad news. My right eye is bad again. It is different than before. He can't treat me with the medicine because it can't be used on pregnant women. At least there isn't any research that it would be ok, and it could harm the baby. So the only option presented to us would be laser surgery or leave it. But he wanted to get a second opinion from collegues. So I am waiting for that till Sept. 5th. I go back that morning to find out what the plan will be. I knew that things had changed, but I also knew that I couldn't really do much about it with the pregnancy.
what this means: we knew this could happen, and we were as ready as we could be. I am greatful for a physician that I really trust, and a very supportive family and husband. I am also very greatful that my left eye has remained healthy. we are of course praying for healing for my right eye, but acknowledging that God has a plan, and if that includes not healing my right eye, we are praying for acceptance of that possibility as well.
Hmm...well that's alot, but I think that's enough for now.
