have

i'm already failing at the picture-a-day thing. but i have a really good excuse-my parents have been here. they stayed after the wedding junk was over to help me with the kids, since i had four different appointments on three different days in salt lake (reminder: i don't live there any more so it's now a commute). one of those little appointments came with some really great news. it was my six-month tysabri follow-up. i had MRIs and labwork done two weeks ago in preparation for this follow-up visit. i wasn't expecting much; when i first started on tysabri the doctor told me that it's not that common to see lesion reduction, especially not until after at least a year of treatment. and lots of people never see any reduction (for those people tysabri just stops progression of the disease). well, i have had "a significant reduction of lesions" and have "no active lesions." i'm actually getting a little better!!! and i feel a million times better. let's just say monday was a great day. so great, in fact, that i decided to celebrate with a chick-fil-A sandwich + honey mustard dressing. the chicken wasn't worth it, but man, that dressing...
