The Lord Answers Prayers

Sorry I have not been as good latley on  updating you all on my latest brain anerysum status. We went to a brain anerysum specialist here in Utah last week. Each time we went to a dr/neologist/neosurgeon, etc we went to someone that knew more than the last each time, so each time we went we learned more, became more informed, etc due to the knowledge and level of the Dr. we were seeing. When we went to the brain anerysum specialist we thought we were going into schedule the acutal procedure/surgery called pipelining. However, we heard the exact opposite of what we thought we were going to hear.

He told us that due to the location of my anerysum on my brain that doing ANY procedure at ALL would be a HUGE risk, bigger than even leaving it alone would be. He said that if were to go in and try to meddle with it to fix it that I would have a bigger change of me having a stroke and or other complications than we would if were to just leave it alone. He also said that my anerysum is the type that only has a 1 in a 1000 chance of it acutally ruptering, and its not the type that leads to a stroke, I will have other symptoms not as scary... so that is awesome! So he said why fix it right now if its not broke, I have lived my whole life with it and been fine, besides my random seizure episodes I have I am totally fine. He told us to just to annual checks on it to see if it gets bigger or anything, so every winter I will get an MRI.

My problems are still there, I still have a brain anerysum and I still have siezures, however  I don't have to go through surgery and I will be ok! As far as my seizures go, I am suppose to monitor them, keep a log, and if they get worse they are going to put me on medication.

Of course I am happy with all of this and its secretly what I have always hoped for throughout this, but I was ticked a bit at first because I was frustrated that I had to go through all of this for pretty much nothing. It has been so hard emotionally, plus all the money, time and effort my parents put into it for nothing. Plus I quit my job in Cali, dropped everything in my life and moved back to Utah for nothing now..,

However I now know that everything happens for a reason, there is a reason I went through all of this, and maybe the lord just needed me back in Utah right now, so here I am to figure life out here. I just got a job working for a website company called Only Websites, I am the communication between the client and the web developer to make sure the client is happy and gets what they want. So far life is comming together still have a long ways to go, but I am going to be ok and everything really does happen for a reason.

  1. Oh I'm so happy to hear that jentrie! I hope you are feeling better and are comforted even though it can be so confusing when we think "why?". Things do happen for a reason, and you've been so strong through all of this. You are a great example. :)
