talking. walking. dreaming about the future.

hand in hand.

cushing's what?

if you're anything like me, you're probably wondering what cushing's disease is.

it's a little hard to explain.

i found that these websites have offered the most clear explanation of what it is, where it comes from and how to treat it.

if you feel so inclined you can read about it yourself here...

sick. sicker. sickest.

this post has been a long time coming.

it's one of those you never think about having to post and then, suddenly, you're there.

posting about sickness.





the truth is, T is pretty sick.

about eight weeks ago he started feeling really tired. his joints were aching, headaches, personality changes and no appetite were just a few of his many symptoms.

he spent a few weeks trying to just "snap out of it".

when that didn't work we made an appointment with a new doctor here in louisville.

they took some blood, ran some tests and basically told us nothing.

when they referred him to a specialist here and they couldn't see him until september, we knew we were going to have take action ourselves.

T started doing some research. we had his mom come up from dallas. on thursday july 26th, the two of them headed to NYC to have some tests done and figure out what was going on in his body.

a few days later he was diagnosed with Cushing's disease.

a few days after that, they did an MRI and found a tumor on his pituitary gland in his brain.

and that's where we are.

brain surgery.

i'm flying up there next friday and he will have the surgery on the 14th.

while i'm not sure where life is taking us from here, i am sure that the Lord is good and He has plans for us that we cannot possibly understand. so we will pray, we will think positive thoughts and we will try to keep our friends and family updated as much as we can.

i'll be posting here about T's illness, surgery and recovery.

thanks for your continued support and prayers.

we really are so lucky to have the family and friends we have!
