They swear this new medicine (a once a month infusion) is liquid gold. I feel more like liquid hormones—I cry when I’m happy, when I’m sad and every moment in between. “It’s really strong medicine, honey,” the sweet nurse told me.
No, kidding! I thought to myself, holding back tears and rushing to the restroom once the IV line had been released. How am I going to do Disney like this? I’m a physical and emotional wreck!
But the Lord’s timing is always perfect and his protection is humbling. We have been planning to take the kids to Disney World for quite some time and my very organized sister has been making reservations and itineraries since February. I knew it would not be a relaxing vacation—it would be on the go, go, go. Let’s get here, let’s see this…go, go, go.
If there is one thing MS has taken, it has certainly taken my ability to GO. But upon our arrival in Disney World, both God’s merciful hand and my medication hurdled into action. And at least for this one week…I could go (with the help of a solid nap everyday)!
I believe this new medication is a blessing from God. Although it may not be a cure-all by any means, at least I’m not sick or worried about getting sick every time I touch something or shake someone’s hand. My white blood cells are back in action, and I feel at least a little more energy than before. At least at this moment, it’s a dream come true in the place where dreams come true!
