Gratitude...My day started with a phone call in the shuttle on our way to Mayo.  A dear friend who is bravely fighting a long and hard battle with cancer called to let me know she was praying for me.  Comment after comment on my FB shows the love of amazing, faithful people who are praying for me.  And that is only my FB savvy friends and family!  I know their are countless more prayer warriors taking the time to lift me and my diagnosis up in prayer.  I just want to say thank you! 

I think of all the stories behind each face as we ride the shuttle to and from the clinic.  A lot of people facing a lot of really hard things.  People of all ages and backgrounds all brought to this place seeking hope and healing.  Amazing people who can laugh and cry while so many things are uncertain.  I pray they know the hope and love of our Savior.  I know I have seen his face in many of the people we have met.  I feel so blessed to have my wonderful husband right here beside me and my friends and family  taking care of my kids and so many other things while we are away.  Thank you! 

Life is easier when we are grateful..."and in everything, with prayer and thanksgiving, make your requests known unto God.  And the peace that passes understanding will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7

I made it through the EMG today.  Electric shocks to test the health of the nerves, and tiny microphones inserted into the muscles to test the health of the muscles.  Not my favorite test.  Made it through by singing songs of thankfulness under my breath.  It still was no fun, but a little perspective goes a long way. 

Tomorrow will be the Evoked Potential, MRI & then meeting with the neurologist at 4.  I do not know what we will find out tomorrow if anything.  Not sure if the blood work will be back before my appointment.  We will need to return next Wednesday & Thursday for more tests & meeting with the neurogeneticist.
