Hi Again

Well we've had a pretty hectic last few weeks. It feels like we have at least one doctors appointment a week. The big thing for us now is Josh has been having dizzy spells, that have been getting much worse, paired with hearing loss, and sometimes memory loss. Its weird, he'll be in the middle of a sentence and can't remember the words to finish it with. Sometimes the attacks are not so bad, and sometimes they are so bad he cant function and sometimes gets very queasy. So as you can imagine when the Ear doctor said he saw nothing wrong in the ear and that he would need an MRI we got pretty worried that it could have been a brain tumor. Luckily though we got the results back and there isnt a tumor. He was then tenitivly diagnoised with a disease called Maniere's Disease. They dont know why it stars, or have a cure, but supposedly if he watches his sodium, and sugar intake and doesnt drink caffeine, it is supposed to help. He has a few more doctors visits, to make sure and to see if there is any way to help him. So anyways, as of now we are crossing our fingers that something will help so he can continue to work, as of now the attacks are very frequent, and still getting worse.

As you know we also went and found out were having a boy, so thanks to all of you who gave us your input on his name. As for now we have a tennative name picked out, but youll have to wait a few more months to find out!!!

Other than that life is moving along, sometimes less easily as we would like, but thats how it goes right? Thats how we learn and grow, and at this point in time I am grateful that things arent worse, and hopeful they will get even better.








BATH TIME!!
