Rearranging and a Medical Update

We have been busy around the Tillery household. We are getting rid of stuff, rearranging the house, and we even made a trip to Jackson this past weekend. I have been slowly cleaning out the basement although it has a long way to go. We are moving the office into our area that we call our hallway, although it used to be the old kitchen back in the day. Seth's room will be in the room that used to be our office, just when I had it the way I liked too, but I am excited about a new decorating challenge. We made a pit stop in Nashville on our way home from Jackson this weekend to pick up some cute new bedding for Seth's new big boy room and we have even purchased a twin mattress and box springs. This week we are saying goodbye to the futon and the furniture is going to be moved around. We might have a cute new room to reveal soon! I definitely won't forget this time.
In medical news, I went to see a neurologist at Vanderbilt today. They are preparing me for a diagnosis of MS although it can't be confirmed just yet. I will see a MS specialist sometime in the future, but until "little" is born, we really can't do anything (which we knew already). Apparently for a definite diagnosis of MS you have to have two or more lesions on your brain and you have to have had two "flair ups." I do have two lesions on my brain that they can see from the MRI, but I have only had one known "flair up" which is the optic neuritis. Once I have an MRI with contrasting dye, if there are more lesions, they can be more sure about the MS and I will more than likely start preventative treatment for it. As for my eye, the returning of vision has been slow and it is still very blurry. I can see outlines of things now and colors are starting to come back. I can see fingers if they are held up right in front of my face, but things at a distance are still a blur. Each day seems to be just a bit better though and for that I am very thankful.
