[Vinnie's Mom]

has MS. She is at a point where she is getting hand controls for her car. She shouldn't be working but is and working at 2 different jobs and going to school part time. Her recent doctor visit was with a new neurologist and he said she has a 3 month window to figure out what treatment she should pursue. 1. a drug they took off the market because it cause brain infections and people died, it is back on the market under watchful eyes. 2. Chemo which is not approved for MS but they have been using it for some time 3. Continue pumping steroids like she is and hope for the best.

Obviously this decision is overwhelming and she has a week until her next appointment. If you could please pray for guidance, she is single so I am a big player in her decisions in life and this is hard for me too. Her name is Becki. Thank you!

UPDATE: She is going to do the chemo, it will be once a month for three months. The one thing she is sad about is it will most likely make her sterile and while she is not married or in a relationship she wanted kids eventually. Of course I chimed in about adoption.

Thanks for praying. Hopefully this will slow/stall the ms and she can have a somewhat "normal" life for a little while. Jasyon will be shaving his head if she loses her hair, he's funny cause he is almost shaved down to the scalp now BOYS.
