Hello! Next appt. with my brain doc is March 12 at 1:15. I'll have a CT scan then see the doctor. I am already seeing prayers answered in just a couple of weeks! My face has movement where there was none. Something is better than nothing. Period. Thank you all so much for caring enough to pray for me. I'm so thankful for all the kind words thought/said/mailed in cards/you know. I have reread a verse from Proverbs 18. Verse 24 talks about friends and how true friends or a true friend will stick closer than a brother. Even old but wise Solomon knows how special friends are!
Yes, I begin to get frustrated sometimes about my abilities or how I'm perceived and treated. This time is certainly being recognized for multiple lessons. I, yes me, need to keep letting go of my frustrations. I have no good reasons to be angry or unforgiving about circumstances. I'm loved. Only God knows who, why, and how so I'll gladly accept that and keep asking God to display His awesome grace!
Thank you for simply reading this. Thank you for your prayers. You are amazing! I do ask you remember other recoveries and healing and comforts we know personally! You are appreciated and so very loved :)

Miracle...seriously
No news is Good News.
If no post that means nothing is different & you're prayers are still and always amazing and welcome.
At 4:37 today, approximately, I was brushing my teeth (ballgame tonight!) and realized my hearing. It's better! Yesterday, it felt like I had water all in my left ear and nothing sounded right or good, just blah! I prayed last night , that's one thing I certainly can and will do...give God reverance, talk to Him, pray to Him. I did ask that my hearing be healed last night and today it is! A miracle. A miracle I almost missed. We miss a lot of miracles so says my daily devotional. God has not changed. W, I, are/am crazy. Period. Now, praise Him with me :)

Doctor Visits
So today was in Birmingham. Period. At 7:30 AM (it does exist!) I went for my CT scan at UAB Hospital. I then met with my doctor (brain guy) at 8:30. He felt in the bottom of his heart that "with time" all would be correct; however, I believe he understood that crazy vision and no facial expression was not working. I would love to give all that time, BUT, that's one, I want to do things...female in her mid-twenties would enjoy driving, silly girl! He of course understands. Perhaps I am different from others (big surprise face) only He knows, BUT, that's two, now my shunt has been raised to 2.5 which is the highest it can be without removal. It's backwards, yes. High pressure like 2.5 means low draining like hopefully improve my symptoms in the coming weeks.
Dr. Kline (eye guy) I saw at 1:30. I went through the whole Eye Exam I recieved Monday January 30th with Robert Sandlin in Athens, Alabama and I am still not sure which one was a "waste of time". Maybe my eyes are really healthy...cross-ed, but healthy. He said that my prism lens that correct my vision would be scary thick. Also after the change made to my shunt this morning, changes can happen and it may be a blessing in disguise to not get glasses for now.
First, I agree with Sophia (Golden Girls...edgy?!) "I never understood why blessings wear disguises. If I were a blessing, I'd run around naked."
Second, yes, I was upset about the not driving-boo hoo-I still can't drive stuff at first. Some good prayer and really good God talk has shown me A LOT. I've typed up the first of the Serenity Prayer below to sum up the ultimate feelings.
'God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I can, and the Wisdom to know the difference.' - RB
Lastly, man repairs & God heals. I have so many phone calls to return! You honestly care about me that much. It's crazy. Prayers upon prayers have went up and are going up for me. Crazy. I am so blessed by such a gracious God! Thank you for loving on me and know that all that stuff in the first two paragraphs, that's repair work. Only God can heal and He already has. I have been bought with a price like EVERYONE, and I have been washed clean. Mess up from now on?? YEP! Not perfect, just saved. My time on this earth is important, oh yea, BUT, that's three, my eternity is the most vital, and it's in Glory! Hallelujer! May God recieve the glory, honor, and praise for His perfect will (Psalm 18:30)! I love you all dearly :)

Appointments
Hi! If you're reading this, bless you, I don't why you're reading this but I am grateful. So, I am going to the doc tomorrow. I feel okay, it's just honestly I can't do anything. No driving no work no nothing. Boo hoo huh?! Tomm I see my head doc at 8:30 then my eye doc at 1:30. Slowly but surely I am getting worse. Eyes-double vision and crossed. Face-left was paralyzed now the right is trying to catch up. Arms-right is "normal"(silly word) and left ranges from Ouch to No Feeling. Easiest way to explain me is Weird. If I have pushed you, I'm sorry. I have shut out so many without meaning to. I am so sorry. To all that have texted or called or emailed and the few that have came by...THANK YOU! I am making a request though...don't stop praying :)
My parents...You are amazing to say the least. The rest of my life is all about you. The sweetest, greatest, most wonderful people I know...THANK YOU MORE THAN I CAN SAY :)
