Ok so some of you know that Josh was back in the hospital about a week ago. We brought him back home Thursday evening. He went in because the pain he was in was making him throw up, shake horribly, and he felt like he was freezing. So he wanted to go in because he felt something was very wrong.
Good new is that there is nothing major wrong with him. Bad news he has chronic pain and it needs to be treated. The treatment is what he is already going through. It's going to be a LONG road and he will probably never be pain free. The goal is to get him to a point where he can function. He currently spends most of his time.....well stoned. That's the best way I can describe it.
He will continue to see his pain managment doctor and continue with treatment. He will also continue to see his psychologist down at Henry Ford for now, and I know he is supposed to see his psychiatrist also, but they do no get along well. His psychiatrist and him both feel 'they are right' and they are both stubborn and it's not a good combo. We'll work on getting him someone he can actually work with. He may just stay with the doctor down at Henry Ford for now. If/when we move we will probably find someone in the Port Huron area.
Obviously this is not what Josh wants to hear. He wants them to figure what is wrong and fix it. Unfortunatly that is not the way it works. I feel like this is going to take time for him to come to terms with and it will be like the seizure activity. It took him awhile to come to terms with the diagnosis of pseudo seizures, but he has and he had less and less of them.
As for the rest of us, Billy is growing sooo big and he's such a happy baby!! He will be crawling before I know it, and am ready for it! Emily is just so mcuh fun to listen to and watch. The things she figures out or says are just priceless. She amazes me every day. Both of them are back at daycare, the same one they were at last year and they love it. The last two days I picked them up Emily cried and didn't want to leave! Certainly better than the opposite!!
I am back to work now too. I have BIG numbers in my Kindergarten classes. I have 24 in my AM and 20 in my PM (that was as of Friday when I left work, but it changes all the time!!). It's nice to be back to work and in a routine, but I reallly feel like I can't get anything done. We are also all working off the first cold of the fall. Billy got it and shared it with my dad and then Josh, and Emily and now me!!!
We are still looking to move and hopefully (by the grace of God) we will be in something else soon. We dealt with a break-in right before I went back to work. We were gone at the zoo and when we got back we noticed. We got all the locks changed and our doors were repainted and they tried again. Didn't get in, but never the less. We now have a security system on the house!!!
Thank you to everyone for the thoughts and prayers!! We send them right back to all of you!!
Oh yeah and Josh has been awarded his Social Security benefits!! So that's a good thing.
