Normal!

Juli and I had an appointment yesterday with her awesome primary doctor. The brain MRI results were back and show only healthy, normal brain inside that skull. We are all very happy, even though it means that the search continues to be one of exclusionary diagnoses.

Tomorrow, Alex is throwing me a birthday bash at his house in West Seattle. Fun, friends, games and food are promised. I will spend the night there, and he has also promised Dim Sum breakfast on Saturday in Chinatown!

This is Juli's last weekend off from work, so we are all looking towards making it possible for her to go back to her job on the 26th. Hopefully with her current medications she will be prepared with a better attitude, less stress, increased stamina, better diet and the more regular sleep schedule she's been on for the last four weeks, to avoid another episode of her illness, whatever is triggering it.

More answers from her blood work and an ultrasound due this week should rule out another collection of possible causes. I am confident that the doctors she has now will eventually figure it out and get her back to good health again.

Been thinking about you. Just caught up on Juli's saga. I hope you get some results soon. I am in total agreement about the state of health care in this country! I'm just not as arrogant as some to think I have a CLUE how we fix it! Hugs to you!
