So I'm sitting at dinner with my boyfriend and his brother when it happened. My phone rang and mom told me that I better be sitting down. My 19 year old cousin was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I started to cry. I asked God, "Why? He's 19! He has the rest of his life in front of him! Why?" Multiple sclerosis means "many scars" because it is characterized by scars and lesions on the spinal cord and brain.
I spent the few weeks in and out of the hospital with him! He has been in so much pain and just wants someone to be with him! His legs, part of his torso, his left arm and both hands are numb and tingly. He has the biggest headache from having a spinal tap done.
Since I work in a hospital I see this all the time and it has never affected me. But when it hits close to home it hurts. I'm supposed to help people get better, but how do help your family when they're so close to you? It's like being to close to the problem and you cant see the answer! So....now what? I will just be there for him while he is in and out of the hospital. I just wish I could take the pain away!
