2012 has been a great year for us so far! We have been relatively healthy (except for this viral pink eye I got and have had for 6 days now!!) and I even got to get off another medication! I am now just taking ONE medication! Praise the Lord! My doctor said I won't ever get off this med. It will be a life long med, which is unfortunate. However, it prevents flare ups so long term, it's the best option.
I've had a little joint pain in my left ring finger for a few days now. It kind of started when my pink eye started so I'm not sure if it's part of the "Virus" attacking my body or what. Hopefully it goes away soon or I'll have to try an injection in the joint. Hoping that it's nothing though. All my labs in February still look awesome and I am still amazing all of my doctors.
I also plan to run the MSP Half Marathon again in June! Super excited and ready to challenge my mind and body again. If you remember, I ran this same race in 2010 and injured myself so I took 2011 off. Though I still have IT Band issues, I'm hoping with additional stretching and strengthening, I will be able to complete the race relatively pain free. My sister is also training for this race and plans to run it with me. Looking forward to it!
Also, we are getting ready for our family vacation to California in April! The kids are super excited. We plan to do Disney Land, Sea World or San Diego Zoo, The beach, and visit Ross's sister in the dessert for a few days. It's going to be a fun but busy week!
Finally, if you haven't been following our adoption blog I urge you to start. Though we haven't really had too many updates there have been things that have happened throughout these last 5 months. The adoption journey has been an interesting one and we can't wait to see our story unfold!
Many Blessings,
