Well Josh can't just let anything be! He's now having some sort of allergic reaction to a medication. (We think.) Benedryl does help so he has been taking that but of course he then sleeps all the time! (A problem I wish I had right now!) We are waiting to hear back from the neurologist about that. (I'm sure they will take their time since they always do!)
He goes to see our family doctor tomorrow to ask more about this stomach pain. He also wants to start going to out patient physical therapy. That should be good for him to be able to get out and they can do more in an outpatient place than they can here at home. It would be nice if I could drop him off in the morning before work for therapy and then drop the kids off at daycare and after work pick everyone up! I don't think they do all day therapy though! (That is a joke!)
Josh is having another test completed on Weds. It's the neurologicalpsych testing. This will help to show if he has any deficits in brain function. (I won't make a joke there but it would be so easy!)
He goes on Friday for another test that the neurologists have ordered. He is going to have an EMG done of his whole body. They are splitting it into two days though. He will have the upper half this Friday and the lower half of his body next Friday. This is a test that will let us know if he has nerve damage. They stick a bunch of needles in him and then send electrical pulses down the needles into the nerves! Sounds like fun!
So that is this week. He will be having PT and OT coming out to the house this week also sometime. The nurse was here today and will be here again on Thursday, just to continue to check on him. Oh yeah and because of all the weight he has lost they have put in a consult to a nutritionist! Now any of you who know Josh, know he is beyond a picky eater so it will be interesting to hear how that goes!
More to come.....I'm sure!!
