Over the last week I have been fighting off a horrible 'bug'. Houston & Braydon have also been sick. Houston is well and Braydon & I are recovering. However, Randy (DH) is in bed SICK :(
Much to my amazement, my eyes did not seem to get worse this time. They were never dry, itching, irritated or any thing else. I am thankful for that.

Anyone know about energy levels in relation to T3 or T4 levels?

We just got back home from a trip to send off our oldest son. He is going to Koera for a year! I miss him already. However, God has filled up my life. These new additions to our family are a huge blessing. Houston, Keeley & Braydon made the trip to Little Rock exciting and adventure filled. Casey kept us grounded with the reality that our family unit is now much bigger than before! I am truely blessed~

Also our daughter Emily had her baby right before we left. Welcome to Kiera!!

Here is an updated picture of my eyes. My left eye is still "big & buggy". However, I have depth perception now and the light only hurts in some instances (like twilight). I am truely blessed.

I am about the stupidest person around.........................

Somehow I FORGOT to take my meds for a couple of days(3) . I didn't understand why I was all shaky, and dizzy, and sick feeling. When hubby asked me about the meds- I started to cry. Because I instantly knew that I didn't take them that morning and couldn't remember when the last time was.

I know that I am forgetful, but come-on. I have to take these stupid pills for the rest of my life. How could I forget?

I now know what has been wrong with me.... I have been fighting off an infection. I have ear infections in both ears and acute sinuses. ugghh

Reading back over my last post, I am embarasses my how fickle i seem withmy relationship with the LORD. Father, please forgive me.

For those of you with Graves...
You know how stress makes our symptoms worse....
You know how our diets make our symptoms worse.....
So what do you do when you start to feel your life coming apart???
I know my meds are right (checked last week)
I know that I am sleeping enough (9-1o hours)
I am eating healthy (90% of the time)
I am talking more to God
And yet....................................... I feel it slipping
I tired to tell my hubby, he doesn't understand
Does Anyone ??????

I am so excited about today. I am taking the children on a "nature walk" thru the woods. This is something that I would not have even thought possible 6 months ago!

Please pray for these children - they are in much need of God's healing.

Have you ever wondered what it means to be "lost and then found". I grew up in church and those words always hit my soul but now . . . I am truly found!
I have been given a second chance at living life. I still have some minor issues with light sensitivity (I can wear sunglasses). And I still have my left eye slightly protruding. This was the better of the two before the treatment. (I'll put a new pic up & you can judge)
WOW
What a ride I have been on these last few months.
