Dealing with Bad News

In the past year and half, I've dealt with a lot of bad news. School, Health, dreams and just in normal stuff in life. Having a illness can cause you have a lot bad news. It can make things very hard, and make things seem like it's the end of the world. That's why it's important to have a great support system.

I was just given very bad news, news I was hoping to change my health. I was denied to the Mayoclinic. They didn't find me a good fit for their program, they wouldn't be any help to me. It really broke my parents heart, and mine. We have been planning for months to go there, hoping they would find a way to help me. We've been so frustrated, no one can help us.
At the moment I was told, I felt like it was the end of world. But you know, for the last year I've been telling myself, everything happens for a reason. Even though, I wish I could get better yesterday. Sometimes you just gotta keep searching and the day will come.
The mayoclinic was a disappointment to us, but we will find a doctor.

Having Hope

Many people ask me how I stay positive and how I keep going. The answer is Hope, faith, belief. Just always have hope. My friends, family, just people that support me, that's who keep me going everyday. When a day is really bad, you can't just look at the negative. I always believe I will get better one day. Hope. It's what everyone needs in a bad situation.

Eye exam and another MRI

Had another eye exam again today to determine if my eye sight is being caused by my inner eye. Which is not, thankfully. My doctor isn't sure what is causing my eye problems but everything points to Chiari. My right eye is affected, and get blurry I'm active and just at random times. But the eye sight is impaired.
She doesn't think it's brain related like a tumor or anything, but maybe a nerve is being pushed. So, she ordered an MRI, sometime soon I will be having my 14th or 15th MRI of my brain, I loose count.
Not really a fan of MRIs but if it shows something and we get answers, I'm all for it! 
Hoping for the best! <3

Mayoclinic Papers Sent

Well, first blog.
Really not sure how to use this, but I will figure this out. My mom and dad sent out the papers to the mayoclinic last week. We should be getting a call either at the end of this week or next week.
Hopefully I will get in maybe in March! They said they were booked until april but I'm not waiting that long! SO I hope I do get in around March. I want to get better as soon as possible!
