Day by Day

In our journey with Ricki we have learned to take things day by day and see what the next day brings. I never know if a hard day will get better or worse so we just have to take it day by day. 

Starting last night Ricki started having some pretty severe hot flashes. She has experienced these for almost a year now and they come and go. The hot flashes came and went all through the night and made it so she couldn't sleep. When  I have hot flashes (which is normal for my age) it is sad when my young teenage daughter is able to quickly recognize when I am having one because she totally relates! Bless her sweet heart! She continued to have them all throughout the day and her chest hurt to the point she had a hard time breathing, and to top it off she was nauseous. The drs don't seem to think there is a problem but, She does have a tumor by her pituitary gland and I sure wonder if that isn't what is causing it but we are in the watch and wait game so in the meantime I will watch my daughter bravely face her daily challenges and Ricki will patiently wait for a cure.  
Sometimes like tonight  my heart just aches. Ricki went to dance tonight but called to come home early.. When she climbed in the car 
all she said was "Sometimes I just wish I could be normal." 
Hopefully,  tomorrow will be a better day.
