Sometimes we’re met with challenges and today I’d like to share with you a personal challenge I’m going through and how it makes me realize that health is something we should all strive for…

 

Over the last month we found out that my son has mild to hearing loss in his right ear. I was sad to hear this news because every parent wants a “perfect” child. There are a whole slew of tests that come with this new diagnosis. You may have seen me on Facebook with a picture of my son for his MRI and EKG that he just had last Friday.

 

Both his MRI and EKG showed no markers for why he’s having this hearing loss, however they did find that he had an abnormal EKG, showing evidence of an enlarged heart.
I’m crossing my fingers and toes that it’s nothing (I will know tomorrow), but the last few days have been torture for me as we await tomorrow’s cardiology appointment.

 

I share this with you, because it makes me realize how special we all are and how health really IS everything. We all have people around us who love us, care for us and genuinely want us happy. They care if we’re hurting, if we’re struggling, if we’re not liking ourselves and our bodies.

 

My beautiful son Hayden makes me want to get in even better shape. Sometimes it’s hard to lose weight and get in good shape for ourselves, so if it means that you do it for your family, your kids, a loved one, then do it. Your health is everything, how you feel about yourself is everything and do me a favor, do one small thing today to move your health forward – drink more water, walk a little bit, stop eating when you’re satisfied, one thing. If you can’t do it for yourself, can you do it for this guy….
