Acoustic Neuroma - Meeting with Neurologist - February 18, 2014

The last 6 months have been a down hill trend for me and how I have been feeling. Balance and fatigue issues have been plaguing me and getting worse day by day.

Last week the Surgical ENT told me he was not sure of the cause so I reached out to a Neurologist. He agreed with us that the latest test on the ENT list was not something that was needed. It would only show that I am missing a balance nerve.

So today I had two vials of blood taken to check a few things and they want me to have another sleep study done. I have Sleep Apnea and the Dr. thinks that I am not getting deep enough sleep to accommodate for the damaged nerves and other issues. The increased fatigue (obviously) and the extra balance issues 'should' improve if they update the settings on my CPAP machine.

I am very hopeful that the Dr. is right and either the blood work or the sleep study will find an easy solution. The alternatives would most likely be life changing.

Should hear back in the next couple of days on the blood work, but the sleep study is not scheduled until April. I am on the cancelation list in hopes of moving it up into the next week or two. I really do not want to wait that long for answers.

Please keep the family in your prayers as we work through this.

Blessings,

Robert

Get Your Christmas On! We all need it!

Those that know me well, know that I love celebrating Christmas and everything it really stands for. They also know that I don't start celebrating it until the day after Thanksgiving.  Don't get me wrong, I love my Savior, I love that His birth was the beginning of so many great things that changed me and saved my life. But for the past 40 plus years I wanted to celebrate one holiday at a time and Thanksgiving is one of my favorite. Good food, family, and friends and I did not want to skip over it, I want to enjoy every minute of Thanksgiving.  That being said, I think the world needs more Christmas.  Turn on the news and you will hear about people being shot, police officers being targeting, crime on the rise, and so much more. The hatred that is being spewed by one group of people because you don't agree with them, and the hatred that is being shot back. The tension is high due to race, violence, sexual orientation, religion, politics, and just about anythi...

Should Religion be Taught in Public Schools - Written by my 14 year old son.

Following is a paper written by my 14 year old son, Chris. He thought about the topic, did the research, and came to his own conclusions. I am very proud of him, his thought process, and the decisions he is making. I told him that I was proud of him and wanted to share this on my blog and he said ok. God Bless, Robert Should World Religion Be Taught In Public Schools? There are nineteen major religions in the world, and these are some of the known religions: Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, Mormon, Sikhism, Baha’ism, Confucianism, Jainism, and Shintoism. A religion is considered a major religion based on the number of followers. For an example, Sikhism has a following of twenty- three million people, and Shintoism has a following of 4 million. While Christianity, one of the most popular religions, has 2.1 billion followers. With this many religions and their conflicting views, religion should not be taught in public school. The reason why religion should not be taug...
