Halloween

First off thanks to everyone who had some amazing advice for me on the previous post. Things have been actually getting better. I've been on the steroids since Wednesday and the Nerve meds since Tuesday. They might be working cause my weakness seems to be getting better daily. I still have a hard time standing up from sitting and walking up the stairs is still difficult. My feet are still numb but I think since it has been that way for so long I'm getting used to it. Hands still numb but no more aching sharp pains, buttons and bra straps still a problem. ;) My appointment with the neurologist is Wednesday and I will hopefully get more answers! Thanks again!

To make times even more difficult we lost Tyler's grandpa on Sunday October 30th. He was such an amazing man, and will be missed so so much. The services were on Wednesday&Thursday and were beautiful. We love you Grandpa & Great Grandpa!
Halloween this year was the best yet, yes you would think with all else it wouldn't have been huh? The weather was the major factor in this and Gage being a trick or treating maniac! He seriously ran the entire night and was out past most. We have so much candy I think I will be throwing it away soon. We started off our Halloween craziness with Kd & Shirley and breakfast with the witches. The kids loved it but Gage was not getting close to any of them. They did a little show and he loved that. We will for sure be doing it again next year.

That night I tried to take Kd & Gage to an indoor trick or treat with Grandma Julie but that got canceled. They were the hit of the night though!
We did our pumpkin carving which Gage thought was so cool.

Tyler and I will not be winning any carving awards anytime soon. I think next year we will stick with painting!
We had my daycare halloween party on halloween and how does this keep getting bigger and bigger. I usually travel over to my moms and we party over there, but this year I had 8 kiddos so no thanks. The kids had so much fun and Gage loves being the only boy with 7 girls!!

Then we trick or treated till our legs went numb, no really they did go numb. ;) Such a fun night, watching Gage have more fun then we could handle is the best feeling in the world. I think he loved handing out candy just as much as getting candy! We hope everyone had a great halloween!~

Wow, I just read your initial post about the numbness - I've had numbness/tingling in my left arm and leg for the past 6 years and nobody knows what the hell it is! (I totally understand the whole, "I promise, I'm not making it up" thing!) My current doctor thinks it may be a gluten allergy, but so far I have only seen minor improvements. If you get good results from the neurologist you're seeing, let me know his/her name! Good luck!! :)
