Life sometimes dishes out liver and onions...but there always is cheesecake for dessert

Almost a year ago life got a lot more complicated. I was diagnosed with MS about seven years ago. Last Oct. after getting a virus the MS, reared its ugly head. I had problems with my vision. Since then it has gotten better, but the doctors say the damage is probably permanent. Dusty was sick off and on for about 3 months at the same time. I got back on some medicine and Dusty did finally got better. In Jan. I turned 30 (which I was really excited about). In Feb. I had a reaction to the medicine I was on. I had a hard time breathing and my lips turned blue. On Feb. 27th Dusty hurt his knee. He was playing basketball with the YW in the ward. He slipped on the floor and severed his patella tendon among other things. After an ambulance ride and some lortab he was awaiting surgery on the following Monday. Friday night I got sick. It turned out to be an ectopic pregnancy, that ruptured. When I finally got to the hospital, I had lost about 2/3 of my blood and had to have emergency surgery, and blood donations. Dusty had his surgery, and we, pathetic as we were, healed. We had to rely on or parents for a while. Hannah crashed on her bike and got a concussion, and Emma fell and got stitches on her face. We really felt like we were done having difficult times. But, we were not. We decided with my health problems that it would be the best to have a hysterectomy and concentrate on my health. A few weeks after my surgery Dusty found out that he was getting laid-off at work. Last week I went to the doctor for my surgery check up, and he told me I might have received contaminated blood back in March. They did blood tests and all came back negative. :) But, I need to be retested in six months. Now it has been 3 weeks since Dusty lost his job, and not many promising prospects. I am babysitting for a neighbor, and Dusty is getting unemployment checks.

I felt like I needed to write this for awhile. I don't know why we are going through so much, this last while. I do know that Heavenly Father is mindful of us. On Tuesday a friend in the ward called to see if Audrey could come and play; and said while she was there why not leave Pierce and go to the Temple. It was definately inspired and was a really wonderful visit to the temple, the Spirit was so strong. We have so many blessings and I am not writing to complain. Life is hard sometimes. But, we have so many blessings that out-weigh the trials. (The cheesecake for dessert. That sounds really good maybe I should go cook!)
