Thanksgiving

Last cg of the year was just awesome!! :) Instead of the usual message / word that we get from our cg leader, Zes, she opened the floor to 1 at a time... She asked us what is 1 thing that we want to give thanks to God for, for year 2010. 1 by 1 went off and by the end of it, the girls in cg were all crying. Individually, we were each so touched and thankful that God has given us what we have and how God was seen working in everyone's situation. God is just great! :)

Didn't feel as though i gave thanks for mine completely cos halfway thru, i was tearing 'kindda too much' to talk? :P So, i told Han, i will blog my thanksgiving for year 2010.. It's easier to blog than talk hehe

Year 2010?? :) A few things to give thanks about but the major one has to do with my wedding. I married my best friend who accepted me just as i am with or without MS. But knowing that i have MS and he still asked me to marry him, i'm just speechless. Truly, what i prayed for 2 years ago that i wanted a guy who accepted me just as i am came true.

Going back in time to 2 months after diagnosis where i told Zes & Sam that i wouldn't get attach or marry someone. Reason being, I didn't want him to be financially or emotionally burden the moment he say 'I Do'. To me, the burden is mine and i should be the only one to bear it. Seeing what the rest have done for me was enough to make me come to this conclusion...

That was then :) A few weeks ago, i learnt the meaning of 'burden'... It's sharing of everything... no matter whether it's a positive or negative issue.. it's sharing :) Han taught me this... i was admitted for 2 days to go thru the MRI scans, tests etc... All went well :) Praise God... it wasn't just the result of the MRI where it told me that there's no new lesions in my brain AND my old lesions are now smaller in size BUT Han stayed with me throughout the entire 2 days that i was admitted :)

The above are the major things that i wanna give thanks for and even more!! Lots more in the background that i'm not saying here :) But dad, mum, small fry & smallest fry :D big thank you for year 2010 :D

Pregnancy??

golly!! i didn't realised that it's been over a month since i last blog... hmm, and i said i would blog at least once every month :P sorry, things have been busy what with the wedding dinners in Ipoh & Penang... thank God it's over & done with =D friends come up & told me that i'm 'finally, really' married.. hehe.. all the customary events like 'serving tea' etc...

just thought i'll blog a short one today... Pregnancy... i've been thinking about this for awhile now.. even more after attending the MS Care event last week. there was this nurse from Brisbane who's based with the MS Clinic... she spoke briefly on pregnancy & said that typically, the doctors would stop the jabs for a period of 12 months... 3 months when you're trying to conceive and 9 months when you're carrying. you start on the jab immediately if you decide not to breast feed and the relapse rate is higher in the span of 3 months after delivering..

why, you may ask... a patient does not jab for a period of at least 1 year while going thru the process to get a baby. there isn't any 'layer of protection' created over your 'wires' to protect it, hence, a relapse could happen...

another patient voiced out and said that it's a risk but worth it. she now has a 2 year old son :) coincidentally, 'Momentum' magazine released a few articles in their latest issue on babies... some patients decide not to have kids and opt to adopt instead... i guess, this is for the couple to decide.

to have kids? how many? adopt? own kids? etc... these are a few questions that the couples would need to answer..

in my case, i've got no idea... on one hand, both of us want our own kids and i want 3 kids... 2 boys & 1 girl =D jokingly told my hubby that i want 3 kids and i want it to be 3 at 1 go!! :P and close 'shop' after that.. that way, i just go thru the whole process once :P hehe... he doesn't mind if we don't have kids, our own or adopt. he just doesn't want me to risk getting a relapse :) something to pray and seek God for :D
