Yesterday we received the news that our daughter, Bre, was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.
I think I spent all last night and part of today in a state of shock.
Bre has been experiencing several MS type symptoms since last summer. She has gone through several tests, seen many specialists and taken many drugs. All of us knew that MS was a strong possibility. I think we all tucked it in the back of our brains and were hopeful that it would just go away.
But now she must decided which drug she will use through injections.
A tough decision as they all have side-effects,
all have to be self-injected
all will be taken the rest of her life.
Thankfully, we are all believers in God and we know that He will have His hand on her and
her family throughout this journey. So we remain optimistic. Studies have shown that the
new medications definitely slow the progression of this disease and in some cases almost stop it.
We love you Bre and we are always here for you.
I will close with that tonight. We know that our beautiful daughter is in God's loving hands and that gives us tremendous peace.
XOXO Nancy

It is such shocking news...but I have been so touched by her faith in the Lord during all of this. It's so evident on fb that she is resting in Him and allowing him to carry her through this. I will continue to pray for her and you all as you adjust to the new diagnosis.
Love you all!!!
Oh my gosh I can't even imagine the pain you must be feeling in your heart-for your daughter!I will keep her in my prayers!
Big Hugs!
