Yesterday, I got a phone call from the specialist I saw in Utah over the holidays. He said my biopsies had come back and that I for sure have PRP. They had examined 3 biopsies and he said they all showed that I have this particular skin disorder. He said that he has never seen anyone have such a mild case of it and wasn't sure why it was manifesting itself so lightly in me. Then he asked me how I'd been doing over the last week or so.
As of 2-3 days ago, I swear this thing is going away. Parts of it have gone away completely and the other parts of my body are improving QUICKLY. My fingertips are MUCH less sensitive (I can even open jars again and button clothing!), and I told the doctor I honestly thought my body was beginning to clear up. He then said, "Consider yourself a very lucky woman. Keep your fingers crossed." He said he had never really heard of a case like mine where the PRP was so mild and cleared up so quickly.
Even though my body still hasn't gotten rid of this completely and I'm not out of the woods yet, I am SOOOOO relieved and happy. A big thank you to everyone who has kept me in their prayers!!
On another happy note, we got a TON of snow last night and are due for some more today. As soon as the highway reopened this morning, Dallin went off to the slopes with some friends and the kids and I bundled up for some sledding. It was very windy last night, which created awesome snow drifts in our backyard. Anyway, Jacob thoroughly loved being in the snow. In fact, he had so much fun I'm wondering if we should try to get him in some ski lessons this year (along with his mommy who is in DESPERATE need of ski lessons). Aubrey didn't like being shoulder deep in snow and didn't like the wind blowing snow in her face -- and in general didn't like the experience much. She just kept screaming and saying "Ow-eeee, snow!" So we put her inside and let her watch instead.
Here are some cute pictures of the kids enjoying the white stuff:

YAY FOR CLAUDIA! Seriously, your good news made my week! We love you so much and know this will all soon pass.
As for the snow bunnies...how adorable are they? Claud, Aubrey is your twin!! I think there's this picture of you in your snow gear when you were little. I'll look for it at mom and dad's so you can show her just how much she looks like her mommy.
jacob should totally take ski lessons! although i hated my snowboarding class at byu - nearly tore my cartilage, and chased my board that was 2 inches in front of me halfway down a mountain - i think he may enjoy it :). glad to hear you are feeling better. you are wonderful!
I believe in prayers...and MIRACLES...keep our fingers even more tightly crossed it is clearing up!!!
Soo happy to hear!!!
Wonderful news! Absolutely wonderful! I am so happy to hear it. You are still in our prayers.
Jacob would be awesome in ski lessons. How fun! Cute pics of the kids all bundled up. Snow doesn't hurt if it's not blowing...Aubrey will like it more when the sun is shining.
