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

I am so sorry.

I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. My worst nightmare as a Mom is for my daughter (17 1/2) to get blindsided with this disease. I thank the lord I can monitor her D levels, toxin exposure, hormones, and eating habits to maybe help her steer clear of MS. And thank goodness by daughter is being raised in the south with lots of sunshine.

My heart goes out to you both. Cheryl will surely be comforted to know you know how to deal with the disease and as a Mom you will feel good being able to help her pass thru the worst parts of it that you, like most of us I imagine, likely had to go through alone.

{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}} to you both!

Heather,

prayers and hugs to you and your daughter.  I pray she will have a mild course.  I pray you can cry together and love eachother and draw the strength you both need. Look after yourself too.

Love to you Dear Mamma Heather.

I am sorry Heather. This is what I never want to face myself but you just never know.

[Want to feel well!!!]

Thoughts and prayers are with you daughter and you.  Please remember to take care of yourself through this and do not not neglect yourself...it won't do your daughter or you any good if you you find yourself in a relapse.  God is there with you for the support, so lean on Him.

(((HUGS)))

I just want to send you and your daughter many hugs.  There are 4 of us in the family with MS right now and my daughter worries about getting it.  I really feel for you and will send many prayers.  Charley.
