This is what we did recently. Ice fishing at the peninsula. I sat in the truck kept warm & of course took pictures.
I haven't done very good keeping up with my blog but I'm sure everyone knows why and for those who don't. This is what been going on. Two days before thanksgiving Jeff was diagnosed with MS. It has been a ruff 5 months. It was very active when we found out he was in the middle of a flare up. It took 2 rounds of very strong steroids to settle it down. Then he got an infection in his esophagus from the steroids and lost 10 pounds (like he can afford it). He couldn't eat for a week. After not getting much help here in town I took him to Cleveland clinic in January. We now have him on avonex a shot that will help keep him in remission. They did a new MRI 4 weeks a go and feel every thing is settled down. He still has nerve damage that will not get any better because the ms is in an advanced stage. He is a real trooper. This man has only missed 4 days of work 2 in the hospital 2 to go Cleveland. He amazes me everyday. Through it all he has carried me to on my down days telling me how amazing I am for taking such good care of him and Lucian. He has also managed to stay sober. I can't stay that I would have. This has really changed his life dramatically he has trouble walking because his right foot drops and catches the floor and the bottom of his feet are numb. He has to be very careful driving and just recently got a brace for his right foot that helps with the drop foot. He says to me everyday this isn't gonna stop me I'm gonna beat it. If any one can he will. I know I'm rambling now trying to update everyone. Thank you all for your prayers and notes it really helps. I just want everyone to know that he is doing better. He can't wait for better weather to work on his car and the house. I've gotten back to crafting and stuff. So I will again try to keep in touch. If you don't want to leave a message on the blog drop us an e-mail. Love to you all!!! Missy
