Jul. 1st, 2004 06:33 pmI got a call from Alison a bit ago.
She and Dad had been fighting about City Year, and it's bad enough she needed me to come get her so she can stay here for at least overnight.
Things came out during this drive.
She's been having shakes. She's been having aphasia. She's been forgetting how to count. She's been losing feeling in her limbs. She's been feeling like she's going to pass out.
We have a family history of MS. She hasn't seen a doctor because she's scared.
I had her talk to Steve. His diagnosis is that she needs to see a Neurologist within the next week if not sooner.
I have to go downstairs and be supportive, and confident, and everything she needs right now.
I want to stay in my room and scream or cry or hide.
I can't deal with this. I'm going to anyhow. But I can't.
