Just a quick note to say we went to the doctor. He is extremely nice, and very smart! I guess you have to be to work on brains all day long :) He was careful not to give us any false hope, but he did feel like there were some avenues that were not explored. He seemed to agree with us that it is some type of auto-immune problem...at least part of the problem anyway. So he ordered a bunch of rare bloodwork (I think they took 12 vials from him), and in another month he will have an EMG. He may order a spinal tap, depending on results to rule out a couple of different things, but for now...we wait.
I woke up at 3 am not able to sleep, just praying, worrying, praying, blah blah blah. Finally on the drive to the doctor, I asked Heavenly Father that I would really really like them to figure out what was wrong with Bryan, but if nothing else, to just make me so I could handle whatever was about to happen. I think my prayers have been answered because the last time I left a doctor's office with no new news, I spent the afternoon balling and depressed. This time, I left feeling okay, and peaceful. In my interpretation, I think it means that no matter what happens, it will all be okay.

Tiff, you're right, it will all be ok. I'm so glad that you have finally been able to get into a dr. who is willing to explore those unchartered avenues. Good luck! Your family is in our prayers!
Whatever they find, it will all work out somehow. I'm so sorry to hear you guys are going through all of this. From someone who has been there, I can relate.
This past October, my husband got sick and for a month they did ct scans, biopsies, drew blood and performed every test they could think of. They eventually started to run cancer tests and sent him to all kinds of specialists. Thankfully, after prayers and fasts, they found nothing. I know what you're going through so let me know if you need to talk.
