Not a bad day

This morning was my annual appointment with Dr. Brady up in Salt Lake City to discuss my progress since this time last year when my life was in shambles and we had no idea what was wrong with me.

I am pleased to announce that my thyroid levels are almost normal to the point where he's cutting back my medicine. I may be so far as to be going in to a bit of a remission.

It's amazing to think about how different my life has become in 14 months. There is really no comparison. I am overwhelmed with gratitude-- for my parents and their unending care (even if they're a bit neurotic at times, at least it's relatively well-founded); for my doctors who I know beyond a doubt were inspired and have continued to be so throughout this whole process; and most especially for my Heavenly Father who has blessed me so far above any expectation I might have conceived for myself. It is only through His will and by His hands that I have come this far and continue to improve and grow daily. It humbles me to review exactly how much I've been given, but I continue to ask for more. I can't begin to count each blessing specifically.

I am so blessed.

I love my life, I love school and my degree, I love the opportunties I've had and the ones I haven't even received yet.

It's been a good day.
