Well, after going to a couple different doctors, I do have a brain tumor called a craniopharangeoma or somethining crazy like that. Over all, I'm feeling pretty good I have headches, stomach aches, and osme other minor things but nothing too serious. I'm ready to go home though and I just got here. Today, Sarah, Andrw, mom, dad, grandma, and Uncle Andy all came up for a ittle while. It was nice. Well, I'm going to go, ttyll

Freaking out here....

As I said in my previous post....I think...I had another apointment today. Well, they took some tests, one of which didn't work so I have to go back tomorrow, and he still isn't sure of what is wrong. We asked about a couple different ideas we had and he said he didn't see any signs of them. In a way thats good because our ideas were serious, like brain related stuff. But, it's KILLING ME!!!! Not only do I have troubles seeing but no one knows whats wrong and it'd driving me nuts. One thing I've already learned from this is that it's a whole lot easier to be a good believing Christian when the bad thing is happening to someone else. I've always been the one to say have faith, its ok, He will do it on His time....now I don't know if I'm believing it myself when all the poeple around don't know whats wrong, let alot have a cure. I have another appointment tomorrow. After this test tomorrow he said he doesn't know. He said we can try glasses, but in the eye exam test my doctor said there isn't a strong enough perscription. AKA: glasses won't help. So, after this test, I'm done. Whether they know how to fix me or not. I don't know if I can hold myself together any longer.......

Appointment

Well, we still don't know whats wrong. The appointment Tuesday didn't tell us much. I went to two different doctors and I have another appointment today. I'm giong to a docotr I went to Tuesday, because he wants to see my eyeys when they aren't dialated.

On a happier note, Grandma comes home today, i can't wait to see her again. I'm going to try to go over there tonight.

I have to get ready for school, but splease pray for my appointment this afternoon. Pray that they will be able to figure out whats wrong and be able to fix the proble....thanks

Quick prayer

I can't talk long, but I would like to post a prayer request.....I will try to make this short and semi-interesting,,,also, I apologize for any spelling/grammar errors. :)

I have had neck problems which have caused headches, it is hereditary. I have been going to the Chiropractor regularly and it has been helping, I haven't had as many headaches. Well, a little over a month a go I was having alittle bit of trouble reading. I told mom and I had an eye exam. My right eye was pretty good and my left eye wasn't so good. With just my left eye open I could only see the big E. Because my right eye was pretty good it evened out and the doctor said I didn't need glasses. Well, since then, it has been getting harder to read the board at school and as a result I haven't been doing as weel at my work. Also, I have been getting headaches everyday again. So, I went to the eye doctor again yesterday thinking I would just get glasses and be done with it. I had another mini exam because they wanted to make sure the perscription was still right....it wasn't. My eyes, mainly/especially the left, had gotten WAY worse. The doctor said that he couldn't correct my vision with glasses because it was so bad. He also said it is very unusual for it to get this bad within 1-2 months. AKA: he doesn't know whats wrong. So, today I go to a specialist. I take a couple tests, he says he isn't sure either (yet) and I have to go back THurday. Basically, i'm scared to death!!! I have problems seeing and reading, I have headaches everyday, I have a TON of school right now with the quarter almost over, I'm TOTALLY stressing out and now no one knows whats wrong with me! PLEASE PRAY!!!!!!!!

Scared, confused, and stressed,
Emily

Point Of Grage (POG)

Today we were quite busy. Sarah had Christmas play practice from 9-11 and then she came home, we had lunch, then we went to babysit Ellie, Lily, Jenna, and two other kids. Aunt Denise is out of town with a couple of friends in Atlanta Christmas shopping so we thought we'd give Uncle Andy a break, as well as one of the other dads. They went golfing....fun!! Then Uncle Andy dropped us off at the mall and when mom got off we got an early Christmas preasant!!! We, Mom, Sarah, and I, all went to a Point of Grace concert. It was sooooooooo much fun!!!! There was this other guy, Scott Krippayne, who was going to be there. At first I was kind of thinking 'oh man, now we will have to sit throught this boring guy....' then he sang.....he was AWESOME. We had so much fun!!!! We got a Christmas CD of Scott Krippayne for like only 8 dollars! It was a lot of fun. Now I'm really tired. I have a bunch of homework to do tomorrow, I have nursery in the evening, and I really wanted to set up our little Christmas tree (a couple yrs ago Sarah and I bought a 4 ft. tree for our room). We haven't had time to put it up and Christmas is only like 24 days away!!!! So, I have quite a busy day ahead of me. I better go to bed. 'Night! Have a great rest of the weekend.
