Good Morning, It has been a very busy week! I went to the MDA clinic last week to have the EMG done on myself, I must admit as I was laying there waiting for the doctors to begin the test my heart really started to race. As I looked over at Masan all the fear I had inside just disappeared, I knew I had to finish this test for him. Honestly it wasn't as bad as I thought....and then they shocked me behind my knee OMG I thought that I was going to die. Not only did they shock me there once, they did it 4 times in a row...OUCH!!! After that the doctor came in (with her bags and coat like she was ready to leave for the day)to preform the needle part of the EMG. She began telling me that the results were my nerve responce were a little on the slow side but she didn't think it was a big deal, however the ordering doctor may disagree with her and I will have to have this test redone. Then she asked me to stick my leg out so they could stick this needle in 6 different places and test the muscle. I am not an idiot, if I may have to redo this test why on earth would I have these needles stuck into me? I looked that doctor in the eyes and as nice as I could I told her "There is NO WAY in hell that I am going through that twice, so I am sorry but I am refusing to have the test done!" After that eventful day I felt like Masan needed a break from doctors and time to just be a kid, so I took him and Prestan to feed the ducks, and then go play at the park. Something that should be fun for a kid seemed to turn into a bad idea as Prestan showed off how well he could climb the rock wall, and then when Masan tried he didn't have the strength in his arms to pull himself up. I've never felt as bad as I did seeing Masan's face knowing that his baby brother could do something he couldn't. I tried to help him, but I think that just made things worse. For a parent you want to shield your child from any pain they may feel, but how do I shield him from this? He is a very smart kid and can feel that he is getting weaker, there are things that he used to be able to do that he can no longer. This whole thing is breaking my heart=( Here are pics I took at the duck pond and the park.
