Rough Day

Sep 26, 2004 01:04

Haven't updated for a short while, kinda like normal though. Anyway, today was a rough/sad day in the life of Tom. This morning had the ACT, which was simple enough wasn't that bad, the worst was the fact that I lost 4 hours of my life that I'll never be able to reclaim.

Anyway, the real rough part of the day was saying bye to my mom when she went off to Rochester. She's going there to visit Mayo Clinic, a medical research/implimentation facility that happens to have more experience in rare diseases and medical conditions than anything here in Maryland and most of the States in general. Quite simply this is kind of the 'final shot,' its the make it or break it point with my mom's health as far as I can tell. If the people at Mayo can't find a way to fix her medical condition we'll probably never find an answer. Quite simply, the outcome of my mom's trip to Mayo could be incredibly joyful or rather depressing around here. Other than its impact on the family's emotions and my mom's health it may have an impact on my health as well. From what I've heard I believe the scientists up there will also be testing whether my mom's condition is genetic/heretitary or not. Apparently later in life my Grandmother exhibited a lot of the same symptoms my mom has been seeing in the past 7 years or so. If it does turn out to be genetic it could have a huge impact on my own health. Right now its hard to think of anything other than my mom up in Rochester, if any of you happen to be religions please pray for her and a positive outcome.
