Well Josh went and saw his family physician today. His doctor does not believe that his seizures are psychogentic as is the diagnosis from Henry Ford. (now all of this is being reported to me by Josh). His doctor feels that because they can not find a reason for the seizures as of now, that is why they are turning to the psychogentic diagnosis.
His family doc also believes that because of one of the meds he is on it is counter acting some of the pain meds and that is causing him to have more pain. It is suggested that he talk with his neurologist about it and possibly see the pain specialist in with his Neurologist again.
Josh goes and sees his neurologist on Monday and we will wait and see what he thinks of all of this.
Josh continues to have PT twice a week and it really wipes him out. He has had a few seizures the last few nights as I am getting Emily ready for bed. He was able to cut the grass last night though even though he ended up having 3 seizures in a row after he was done with that.
Josh has started having a few issues with his legs not responding and causing him to fall. Hopefully he will remember to bring that up to his neurologist Monday also. He goes to stand up or walk and occasionally his legs do not listen and they don't move but he does.
I am almost done with school (Thank GOD!) and Monday will be my last work day and summer here we come! I will be able to drive Josh to his apts after Monday which should make him feel better. He feels like a drain on most people but at least I signed up for the better or worse stuff!! :-)
As for the kids, they are doing so well! Emily can not wait for it to be warm enough to go play at the beach! She is starting to get her canine teeth now, but they don't seem to bother her tooo much! Billy is growing like crazy. He's getting so big! He will be 4 months tomorrow and we have his apt next week also. I just started him on cereal at night the last few nights and he seems to love it! Emily was trying to help feed him the other night and wanted a bite of the cereal. (rice cereal) So I gave her a little bit and she almost threw up on me! It was funny to see her react that fast!
Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers! We are hoping to have social security by the end of the summer, but it's not like the government works very fast!
I'll update more Monday or so after his apt with the neurologist!
