Meg & Lou: Grateful

It has been over a month since I last posted. I feel like it has been a lifetime! I've been dreading an update.. not because I hate blogging, but because God has completely rocked/flipped/transformed/changed my life since June 20th. I have learned sooo many lessons, that I don't even know where to start.

Well on July 11th, I was diagnosed with a condition called Pseudotumor Cerebri. Pseudotumor cerebri occurs when the pressure inside your skull (intracranial pressure) increases for no obvious reason. Symptoms mimic those of a brain tumor, but no tumor is present. It's a result of too much spinal fluid.
I went to Arizona on Saturday, July 2nd and was there for 3 days. It was a ROUGH 3 days. I was in the E.R 3 different times because my head was throbbing.. on day 3 I couldn't even keep water down. They thought I had a pinched nerve in my back (really?!). So my mom flew me home on Wednesday.. Which might not have been the smartest thing, because that couldn't of done any justice to the pressure in my head, but hey! I would of given anything just to get back home.
So Wednesday night, my mom took me to Medical City in Dallas, because when I was younger I had to be in the hospital for a bit, so my mom loves that place. It's a really really good hospital.
They had to run all sorts of tests to rule out meningitis and aneurysm.. FUNNN.. -_-
I'll spare the details of all the fun hospital stuff.. but I was admitted early Thursday morning, and was in there for 6 days. When I was younger, I remember loving being in the hospital.. free food.. free soda.. free snacks.. but this time, I wasn't a fan. It wasn't as exciting as it was when I was 12.

Well.. to kind of summarize all this rambling.. they put me on medication to see if it could be controlled by that.

The rest of the story is a SURPRISE :)
I will have a much better update coming sooooooon.. but I just wanted to get the boring information of the condition out there first.. before I shared everything Jesus has been rocking my world with.

But before I go.. I do want to share (quickly and summarized) the biggest lesson, BY FAR, that Jesus has/is teaching me..

Take nothing for granted!

I have never in my life, been so grateful for every breath I take. I've never been so humbled. I keep finding myself overwhelmed by God's grace. Most of the time, I don't even have the words to describe it...

All I know.. is I love my life... and I love God.. SO MUCH

***I've decided to start posting some pictures of the things that have brought joy and happiness to my life lately.. I hope you guys enjoy them as much as I did.

I am truly blessed.
