Three years ago, my 13 year old daughter was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Contessa first showed symptoms at age three and doctors told us that maybe someday she would be diagnosed with MS. MS is a disease that effects the central nervous system. For some reason her body is attacking the mylien sheath that protects the nerve. When the nerve is damaged it cause problems such as vision problems, short term memory loss, and coordination. There are two types of MS, Contessa is diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS. This means she will go periods of feeling and looking well. Factors such as heat and stress will cause a relapse. Currently there is no cure for MS. We are using a daily injection called Copaxone that is to slow the progression of MS. Please take a few minutes to view the following clip to see how people with MS are often preceived as looking so good that they could not have a dibilitating disease. The Show Must Go On
This is the question that is always asked when I tell a friend that I will be scrapbooking for 15 hours on a Saturday. You can just imagine the look on their face! And what do we do when we are scrapbooking? My friend Sid summed it up quite well. We take beautiful pictures and paper and cut it all up and then glue it back together!
Here we are settled in for the next 15 hours.
We have endless hours of entertainment by Our Queen Scrapper ~ Jamie.
