Glitch
7:45 AMFor the past seven months, my mom and I have been going in and out of the clinic or the hospital for almost every weekend just to attend my appointments with the dermatologist. Actually, this one is my third doctor already and I admit that it's starting to get tiring, returning almost every weekend. And I admit that sometimes, I feel like I've been robbing my mom her rest day.
Oh, I forgot to mention the reason why I've been seeing my doctors.
I started to have rashes way back July of 2012 and from that day, it started to get worst. It spread in the other parts of my body, from the mere spots on my arm, crawling in other areas nearby. It's really alarming because, our family never had a history of my skin condition and I've never had it even before.
After tubs and tubs of creams, tons of tablets to drink, and after several needle encounters for blood and other samples, my current dermatologist has finally come up with words that will help us understand my condition (though still not really 100% sure). It's a type of allergy triggered by mere contact to the allergen and another condition which is actually hard to pronounce. Bottom line other that contact dermatitis is that my genetics has this certain glitch (thus, the title of this blog.) (wow, that made me feel like Vanellope Von Schweetz!) which makes me different from my ancestors and other family members, which also explains why it hasn't occurred within the family history. I have this certain glitch that only started showing in my twenties which adds to another weird fact about me.

Anyway, our family is deep in prayers for a faster recovery and I would like to ask if you could also join us in praying. We do believe that God is stronger and bigger than this. And I, on the other side of the mountain believes that God will not put us into something that we cannot bear or handle. And that each has a purpose. And when things start to feel heavy, I always turn to Him and I get my strength in him and through my family.
And even though I still believe that I rob my mom's Saturdays just to accompany me to my appointments, I believe that it allowed the two of us to spend more quality Mother-Daughter time with each other. Which is actually good and refreshing.
So, with all the surprise glitch and other things, here something. Here's some silly photos I took while feeling hyper last night. Mustachios and some nerdy girl.

What if I let the nerdy side prevail? |
Now off to dreamland, early rise tomorrow for another trip to the doctor's. May the Lord keep you safe, tonight. It's time to begin the Midnight Tea Party.
