t&p please

So I know I have been a sucky bumpie lately. Life and all that jazz. But now I need some O12 magic.
Looong story still long but somewhat shorter: The last few years, my mom has noticed that her legs and arms get tired quicker than in the past. She chalked it up to age. But the past year she has gone downhill quickly. By the time she showers and blow dries her hair, she can't hardly lift her arm to put on makeup. She used to walk 3 blocks to work, and now she can't hardly make it down a hallway without holding onto the wall. Her balance is off and her legs are weak. When she walks, she says she looks drunk. She swerves if there is any slope at all. She had a couple tests and the neurologist tentatively diagnosed her with myasthenia gravis. It's an autoimmune disorder that effects (affects?) muscles. Then she had a leg biposy. Came back normal. So the neuro called in a brain/neck MRI.
Mom got the results today. There are "some ropey things that may possibly be an indicator for possible MS." (Mom's words.) So now she has to go in for a spinal tap before they send her out of state for more tests.
Mom is trying to convince us this is no big deal, blah blah blah. Not buying it. "Ropey things" on the brain is never good, MS or not.
So please send prayers, thoughts, juju, whatever. I'll take anything you got.
