Who You Gonna Call?

Yesterday, I found myself once again with a terrible, terrible migraine. So bad that I didn't know how to function. I won't go into detail, but when I get a migraine, it turns into more than just a headache. I was very sick. Because of the lesions in my brain, my neurologist is quite certain that the migraines play a role in my Multiple Sclerosis.

I called my mom. Thankfully it was a Saturday, and her and dad were both not working, so they came over to help me with Isaiah until Rob got home from work. I tried to rest until then, but with a headache so powerful, it's hard to fall asleep. Once Rob came home, the decision was made to bring me to the hospital to try and get some help. Of course, my parents were once again willing to help, so we dropped Isaiah off at their house on our way to Steinbach. Once we got to the hospital, we didn't have to wait very long. I'm always the barfing patient, so they get me in pretty quickly. It didn't take too long and they started an IV with a couple of different medications, which quickly took the pain and nausea away. These meds usually leave me feeling pretty jittery and restless, but I can handle that. As long as the migraine pain is gone, I'm okay.
We went to pick up Isaiah, and my parents decided to come back to my house with me to watch Isaiah until he went to bed, because I didn't really want to take care of him alone, being on all this medication.

Parents are wonderful. I really don't know what I would do if my parents didn't live as close as they do. What a blessing. So thanks, mom & dad.

Today I am feeling much better - just resting. :)

Time to go watch Mother Goose with my favorite little man.

Parents are such a blessing. And to have such wonderful and amazing parents like yours, is awesome!
I would be so lost without my parents. They have helped me out of so many difficult situations.
It so often breaks my heart that someone that I care about has to suffer through such terrible migraines that you can't function.
Im always praying for you Kara.
