Ok so we have Josh off one of the anti-seizure meds and he is doing better. The hazyness it's so bad anymore and he's not forgetting where he is, and all that is getting better. So one down!
His neurologist doesn't want to mess with too much at once because it could be too much for him to take. So he goes back to see him again the beginning of Sept. (not soon enough for Josh but that's all we got!)
In the mean time he will be seeing his pain management guy and they have started tigger point injections. This is hopefully going to be just one part of getting him off the pain patch. THe doctors have told him that he CAN NOT just go off the pain meds alone. It's impossible. So they are going to plug away at it but it is going to take time!
Josh still has episodes/seizures (whatever you wanna call it) when he really over does it. He is certainly feeling a bit better. He has been really cleaning up the garage (HUGE pile of garabage this last week! YAY!!!). He has a neighbor kid that is suposed to help him get some of the other things done around the house (new gate, moving things around in the garage..). I am hoping the neighbor kid does do all this because it makes it easier when I can focus on the kids and things inside the house!!
Josh is all about cleaning up and getting rid of stuff (I don't know where that came from! I have been fighting for that for years now!). The lawyers are still working on our mortgage and the mortgage company is not wanting to change anything. We are hoping though that we can get out of this house one way or another (I should say we will be getting out of this house!). Reading in the newspaper about someone who was carjacked just around the corner, and the fact that a hosue down the street is in pre-forclosure, and the neighbors across the street have their house up for sale (short sale, 79,000) really doesn't make me want to stay here at all!!
The kids are doing well. Billy is getting SOOO big (almost 18lbs I think, the weight Emily was when she turned 1) and Emily is just talking up a storm!! She has also been helping me clean up and put clothes away and her toys away! I can only hope that continues!
As for me, I have been having a harder time being easy going about everything, but well it was bound to happen, I'm working on it! I am super happy though that Josh is cleaning and throwing away more. De-Clutter!! YAY!!!! Now if only the rain would stop and we would get some really nice warm weather so I can spend time on the beach I would be even more happy!
Josh still wants to be able to watch the kids when I go back to school (BIG money saver!) and he is now thinking it's not going to happen, but with everything I am seeing in him, I actually thinks he might be able to. I don't know only time will tell especially when they are going to be messing with his pain meds!
So I supose that's it for now. Still nothing on his social security and we are hoping that comes through soon!! We were told anytime between now and Oct! OCT!!! It better be sooner!
Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers!!
