Today brought yet another production of Joe's to a close. The Hobbit has been a wonderful experience for him yet very exhausting for him as well as my husband and I. He was wonderful! He played his role well. It was the first part he played were there was no singing and/or dancing AND he had a ton of lines to learn. He mastered that part...so much so that in addition to his part, he was the understudy for the lead and was helping others with their lines and even reciting other's lines when they were missed. 
The producer of the production spoke to him afterwards and told him how much she enjoyed working with him. She said he has a wonderful mind and she loves how he thinks outside of the box; he sees the big picture. She told him she only knows of a handful of adults who can do that and he was the first child she worked with who had that ability. I stood there with tears in my eyes as she told him. What an amazing compliment to hear! We are beyond proud of him.
This may be something to be prematurely excited about, but I am excited about it non the less. I had my 6 month check up with my neurologist this past week. It went very well. He spent lots of time asking questions and examining me. In a somewhat surprising voice he said, "you are doing very well, aren't you?" I agreed. He then said, "it looks like you are part of the 5% of MS patients who do very well without medication." I agreed with that to. Of course the true test will be the MRI I will be going for in another week; but for now, that was the best thing I could hear him say.
I can honestly say, that since this silly roller coaster ride began just over a year ago, that was the best, least stressful appointment with any doctor I've had. I feel as though I have accepted whatever it is I need to about this and have moved forward. I'm not worrying about what the future holds for me. When it comes to this, I am taking it a day at a time...and it feel pretty great to!
We have another crazy week ahead of us. The company we work for is having a HUGE warehouse sale. It will be hectic but it is always a blast! It's exhausting but so much fun! Its not often at all that we all get to interact with the public. Everyone is doing something different than what they usually do...I am really looking forward to this coming weekend!
My anxiety is building up over this hurricane that is headed towards so many people that I know, love and care very much for. I have so many people in my prayers tonight. Not knowing exactly what this storm has in store for wherever it hits is frightening to me and I'm no where near where it's headed...I can't imagine how those who are expecting it must feel. However, everyone I've spoken to seem very positive that it wont be bad and they are just expecting a little bit of rain haha...I'm not sure if they are trying to make me feel better about the situation or if their northern stubbornness has made them delusional.
Please everyone, include all family members, friends, and strangers to whom Hurricane Sandy poses a threat to. The media is making this storm sound so terrifying.
