Watch out, world!

For those of you who are following Amy's progress, please continue to keep her in your prayers. We should know in a few weeks whether or not this current medication will give her any pain relief. In the meantime, some of the side effects are less than pleasant. The pharmacist said they should only last 7-10 days and we're already at day 5. Our prayer is that soon she'll be back to her normal self and that she'll (sooner rather than later) finally feel diminished pain in her feet/ankles. If this doesn't work, we're only left with one more option which we're not sure is even going to be an option at all. It's way more invasive than we're comfortable with, and even her Dr said he'd hate to see us go that route on someone her age unless we're absolutely desperate. And honestly, now that Amy is 18 she's ready to be done with it all. She's been positive thru all we've asked of her for the past two years. But she'll be off to college soon and is ready to just "suck it up" and be done with experimenting with treatments. Enough is enough! If this pain is her new normal, she's ready to accept that, and I'm not sure I blame her. She's one brave, awesome girl! And even in pain she can run circles around most of us. Watch out, culinary world!
