I'm a sad Mother today...

[Heather3418]

I have just been told by my 34 year old daughter, that she has MS.  She will be going in for her Solumedrol treatment tomorrow, for 3 days, for her Optic Neuritis.  They found 4 lesions in her brain and will be doing more investigative work in this next week.  Her NeuroOpthamologist said she she's that there is a paleness in the disc behind her eye and said Optic Neuritis.  My daughter did not tell her that I had MS, until after the doctor told my daughter they suspect MS in her.

This is crushing to me as a mother.  As it would be to any of you.

I will be absent from the Forum starting tomorrow morning, as I am driving down to be with my daughter, as she takes her infusions and just try to be some comfort to her.  We have decided that we are going to do alot of crying together, then put on our thinking caps, to plot the next course of action.

If any of you believe in prayer, my daughter could sure use them.  Thanks to all of you, in advance.

Weeping Momma,
Heather

Sending loving thoughts to you and Cheryl.  

Others have said the things in my heart so much better than I can say them right now.  

Lots of love and hugs,

Our dear Earth Mother.  I'm sure your heart is breaking over this and that you would take the extra disease upon yourself rather than have your daughter have it.  I am so sorry.  You do know that the genetics are only a small part of this disease.  It is not your fault any more than it is your bio mothers's fault that you have it.  There would have been no way to test to see if you or she would get MS.

You have had too many trials in the last year.  It really isn't fair, but you have handled them with grace and honor.  The one good thing is that your daughter has you to help her over the unknowing, the questions and the fear.  Also, as we have said many times before, a parent's course of MS does not determine the child's course.  She very well may not have the rough time you have had.

You and she are constantly in my thoughts.  Please invite her to join us!

Much love, Mama Quix

I think what has been said here is all that I can say as well.  Know you are loved and that you are a great support in each other.
I will be praying for you and sending lots of love.  
I will be finishing my solumedrol treatment on Moday so my thoughts will be with Cheryl knowing we are doing the right thing fighting this disease with all we have.

Lots of love
Danielle

I think everyone had said everything that can be said and I agree with them all.

So I am sending you my love, lots of hugs, and plenty of prayer.

Take this time with your daughter to process what has occurred and remember you are not alone.
