Living Life.. and lovin' it


Graduation looming near... so close! We are so excited! And we are so happy to get most of our adoption stuff out of the way before the craziness coming up packing, finals, switching insurance, selling stuff, doctor appointments, getting copies of our medical files, address change, fun stuff huh? Adoption stuff have been crazy too but we are mostly done, we are now just waiting to be notified if we are approved... should be really soon! And then waiting and networking!


High Five to Joseph. He is done with harsh and dangerous medication. So far he has only experienced one unpleasant side effect: his balance is off, he is a little wobbly. That is the ONLY symptom that we have noticed. Besides that he has had so many improvements, his vision is better, his energy better school still wears him out,he has other improvements that are too personal to put on the blog. But he is biking which helps build up his leg muscles and giving him more control. I can't tell you how hard the winters are for him, he lost muscle mass in his legs. Right now we are researching natural ways to help Joe out. He has tried some vitamin supplements and they have helped a lot, we are also going to consult a chiropractor who is a nutritionist and a natural path. I have had success with it and hope that there is a way for Joe to experience success with his lasting MS symptoms.We are happy with his improvements and hope to keep away from drugs that may cause more harm than good.

YAY!! I love good news posts. Sounds like things are going great. I'm so jealous you guys are basically done with school. That is so so exciting!! I so wish that day was near for us but as time goes on the further away it seems. Guess school comes easier to some than others!! Glad to hear that Joe is doing well being off those meds. Hope things continue to go well and that you guys have a smooth move and everything!! congrats!!
