DAD'S 20th Class Reunion....

Mama and Dad went to his 20th class reunion while I stayed home with Abuelita and I did great...I slept the whole time. Mama and Dad had a great time...people told Dad that he had not changed a bit. Mama and Ms.Kim danced the night away...Mama danced with some of Dad's high school buddies...which was funny. Dad was very popular with the girls as per usual...Mama just laughed. They showed pics of me...everyone thought I was very CUTE as per usual. Anyway, they had a great time and were glad they were only 5 minutes away from home at the end of the night.

Mama and Dad had to tell me to keep my hands off of her so much... I just wanted to hug and kiss on her...she is very cute.
So..today I spent most of my day with my DAD..he took me to McDonald's, then Tom Thumb for grocery shopping and a couple of errands, then we hung out while Mama ran a couple of errands. WE had a BLAST!!! We walked alot, rode my bike and then we drove the 4-wheeler 2x....I was in heaven. Dad is alittle tired from me wearing him out. But, I went to bed in 5 seconds flat tonight.

Look at ME, Look at Me.....

BACK TO THE LAND OF THE LIVING...

WELL, WE HAVE HAD A FUN FILLED WEEK SOOOO FAR. MAMA IS BACK TO HER OLD SELF...FULL OF JOKES AND FUN!! SHE HAS 2 APPTS. IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, BUT SHE IS SURE THEY WILL GO WELL, BECAUSE DON'T FORGET SHE IS MARISSA. HAPPY BIRTHDAY POPPY, CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE U SATURDAY. I AM DOING GREAT!! MAMA AND DAD ARE SOOO PROUD OF ME.. TODAY OUT OF THE BLUE I STOOD UP AND STARTING WALKING WITH HELP OF MY DESK AND OTTMAN..TOOK 8 STEPS WITHOUT MY BRACES..MAMA ALMOST HAD A FIT...BUT I WAS SO PROUD OF MYSELF THAT SHE DID NOT TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME.

Alot on my mind.....

THE LAST 24 HOURS HAVE BEEN VERY ROUGH ON ME....I AM SAD ONE MOMENT AND THEN ANGRY THE NEXT...ETHAN DOES NOT SEE THESE EMOTIONS BECAUSE HIS MAMA IS ALWAYS SOOOO HAPPY AND FULL OF ENERGY..BUT NOT SO MUCH TODAY! THIS ALL WAS NOT SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN TO ME OR ETHAN. I HAD DONE EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD THE RIGHT WAY. I WAS A GOOD KID, TEENAGER(OVERALL..MY MOTHER SAID THAT) AND I GREW UP TO BE A RESPONSABILE ADULT..NEEDLESS TO SAY AT TIMES IT WAS EITHER MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY. I RAN FOR 8 YEARS PROVING TO PEOPLE THAT A 5'10 GIRL KNEW HOW TO RUN.WHEN I MEANT GREG I DID EVERYTHING BY THE BOOK. BOTH OF MY PARENTS WERE PROUD OF ME THAT I WORKED SO HARD TO GET MY DEGREE IN THREE FIELDS (SPANISH, PSYCHOLOGY AND SOCIOLOGY) AND SO WAS GREG. I HAD A BEAUTIFUL AND HUGE WEDDING... I MARRIED THE MAN OF MY DREAMS. I GOT A BEAUTIFUL HOUSE,A BEAUTIFUL RING... EVERYTHING A GIRL EVER WANTED. GOT MARRIED..DECIDED 3 YEARS LATER TO START TRYING...WE DID..WE NEEDED SO HELP ON MY SIDE...BUT IT WORKED OUT. THEN 14 WEEKS INTO MY PREG. WE FOUND OUT THAT ETHAN HAD SPINA BIFIDA. NOW IF I BACK UP A BIT.... 4 YEARS EARLIER I WAS TOLD THAT I MIGHT HAVE SPINA BIFIDA OCCULTA...HELLO PEOPLE WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME BEFORE. MY PARENTS AND I KNEW I HAD SCOLOSIS, WHY DID NO TELL US THE REST OF THE STORY. SO...WHEN THEY TOLD US THAT ETHAN HAD SPINA BIFIDA ... I WAS LIKE OK..I CAN HANDLE ALL THIS AND I DID. I WAS VERY SAD..BUT NO ONE SAW IT...I JUST WANTED TO SHOP FOR THE VERY BEST THINGS FOR HIM AND I DID. SO ETHAN CAME...AND I CONSIDER MYSELF THE LUCKIEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD THAT I HAVE THIS LITTLE BOY THAT WORSHIPS THE GROUND I WALK ON. SO A YEAR LATER I WENT FOR A BLOOD TEST TO FIND OUT THE I CARRY 2 GENES THAT DO NOT PRODUCE ENOUGH FOLATE....ANOTHER KICK IN THE MOUTH...SO I DEALT WITH ALOT OF GUILT AND SLOWLY IT HAS GONE AWAY ONLY TO COME BACK TO HAUNT ME NOW. SO LETS JUST SAY IT HAS BEEN ALITTLE ROUGH. MY PARENTS AND GREG'S FAMILY HAVE BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE..BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO EASE THE PAIN THAT I HAVE IN MY HEART..IT ACHES WITH SOOO MUCH PAIN. THIS WAS NOT SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN TO ME AND CERTAINLY NOT TO MY ETHAN. I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT. BUT, WHY DOES IT HURT SO MUCH...

Mama and I....

What a Day...

TODAY, MAMA HAD A DOCTORS APPT WITH HER NEUROLOGIST DR. BARRY AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE A A 6 HOUR ORDEAL. SHE HAD A MRI DONE OF HER HEAD AND SPINE,THEN SHE WENT BACK TO THE DOC'S OFFICE AND HAD NCV, IOM, EP AND EMG AND TO MAKE IT FINAL SHE HAD AN E.E.G. DONE..WHICH SHE HAD TO WEAR FOR 48 HOURS. SO, I AM SURE YOU ASK WHY MAMA IS HAVING ALL THESE TESTS..WELL, MAMA HAS SPINA BIFIDA OCCULTA..SHE FOUND OUT ABOUT A YEAR AGO. NO ONE KNEW BEFORE I WAS BORN THAT SHE HAD IT...WHICH MAKES MAMA VERY SAD. our LESIONS ARE IN THE SAME PLACE L4-L5. THEY ALSO FOUND OUT THAT SHE HAS NERVE DAMAGE IN BOTH LEGS...THAT IS AFFECTING HER BLADDER...SO SHE IS GOING TO SEE A UROLOGIST ASAP. HER MRI INDICATES THAT THERE IS DISK PUSHING ON HER LESION..SO THE DOC HAS TO FIGURE WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO. SO LETS JUST SAY IT HAS BEEN A CRAZY DAY. I GOT SO SPEND TIME WITH GRANDPA TERRY FOR ALITTLE BIT AND THEN DAD CAME HOME VERY EARLY TO TAKE CARE OF ME...WE HAD ABLAST. MAMA IS KINDA WORRIED BUT SHE IS A STRONG GIRL. IF ANYONE CAN HANDLE THIS SHE CAN. IN THE PICTURES, MAMA IS HAVE 22 ELECTRODES ON HER HEAD AND 1 ON HER CHEST.
