Breaking News

So... today has been an eventful day. Master's nephew was born today. He is healthy and the mother is as well. We know his name now. Apparently they knew what his name was going to be for about a month now but they didn't want to tell anyone until after he was born. Why?

Not sure. They said we should come down to see them soon so we can see them and meet the new little one. I'm sure we'll figure something out.

Then there was some other news today. Not so great news at that. I actually just got off the phone with my mother. She had some blood work done a couple of days ago and we had been waiting on the results. Well, she got the results back today.

Apparently something in her body is not producing enough protein. They didn't really tell her much on that. They basically told her they weren't sure what and that she would have to come in for more blood work. The other results were that she has rheumatoid arthritis. I honestly do not know much about it. I know it's not good and that it is very painful. I'm almost a little afraid to look into it on the internet. You know how people tell you to never look on WebMD when you're sick because you will convince yourself that you're dying?

That's kind of why I'm afraid to look into the rheumatoid arthritis. The doctor did tell her that her fibromyalgia probably increased her risk for RA. And guess who else has fibromyalgia? That's right. This girl. Lucky me.

So my mom had called not only to tell me the results but also to let me know that I may, at some point, be at risk for it as well. Apparently it is more likely to affect women. So that also increases my chances.

I told Master and I've put that thought on the back burner. I'll keep it in mind basically. But I'm more worried about my mom. She is going to see a RA specialist and is going in for more blood work. So now it's just a waiting game yet and still.
