details

I am not moving around much yet. It seems that all I am doing is sleeping. Perhaps it will take a bit to get going again.

For those that like details, it looks like what I have is called either Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension or it is also called Pseudotumor Cerebri. It is said to cause unbearable headaches, which I can attest to, and permanent visual loss or blindness which I thankfully have not experienced. Following is a link for those really interested in knowing more about it: http://www.iih.org.uk/iih.php .

We are so thankful for Dr Dan Heffez, who saved my life. Our doctors and nurses in Rock Valley have also been fantastic. Thanks, too, to so many that have helped and encouraged us through this journey. It might take a while to figure out if the medication will work and to get on top of things, but it is a relief knowing what it most likely is and that there are treatments available. We don't always understand the Lords plan, but we know that He will use this to His glory. We are so thankful that He led us to this doctor and gave him the wisdom to find the problem!
