MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
Well the results are in on all the tests Joseph has had. 3 tests indicate 90% most likely that it is the earliest stages of multiple sclerosis. He has to get Steroids through IV for an hour each day for 3 daysto combat the swelling, he is on day 2 today. This should releive the double vision. He will begin medication to greatly reduce the chances of future MS attacks. Also he will be taking self induced shots daily, which will be a challenge at first. He had more lab work yesterday and we will go back to see the doctor in a few weeks to see what meds are doing for him. Joseph and I are having a positive attitude about this and are determined we will live a normal happy life. I would appreciate your prayers and encouragement.
