The ying and the yang…

February 13th, 2009

The doctors checked my friend, Mandy, into the hospital yesterday for tests. They need to do an MRI to make a diagnosis, but Mandy’s having trouble with the MRI. Have you ever had an MRI? Tiny little opening in a huge machine. The loudest machine I’ve ever heard. It’s no surprise that she’s had trouble with it.

Blessedly, her GP agreed to sedate her for the testing. We’re praying they are able to do the test tonight.

The diagnosis they feel like are most likely are MS or a stroke. We appreciate all of the prayers. We’re hoping they’ll be able to give Mandy and Josh a diagnosis this weekend so they can go ahead and begin treatment to help Mandy begin feeling better.

This afternoon, as I was worried and tense at work, I got the most exciting email from my brother. His wife, Nicole, was in labor. On my way home, I got the call that little London Victoria had made her arrival. I am beyond excited for them!

    “Yin” has no “g.” But I love you anyway. Thanks for spreading that blanket of prayer wider still. And congratulations on your aunthood.

    You gotta love MRIs. I think they work harder at making them more difficult to lay through without moving. Doesn’t make any sense …. you go in with a headache and then they yell at you and assume you will be able to lay perfectly still. My prayers are with Mandy!

    Congrats on new baby! Wow …
