Sorry to hear, Ryan. Your niece is in my thoughts. I really feel for you and your family.
I feel like I hear about so many people with illnesses. It really breaks my heart. Even when i don\'t know them. And especially, when i do. My mother was diagnosed last week with Ménière\'s Disease. I really haven\'t talked about it with anyone cause i still don\'t understand it myself. It seems almost crazy. She is slowly losing hearing in her right ear. It also gives her constant vertigo and ringing. Its just so painful for her.
She\'s only 52. And has to get a hearing aid. The odds of her being completely deaf by the time she is a senior are unbelievable. And they are still doing scans in the next few weeks to rule out that a tumor is causing it. I am always worried about my 82 year old Nanny getting ill, I never thought my mother. Makes you really reexamine life.......
