Well since iv been on here last a lot have went on.
Since September Billy has been having some health issues. In September he was admitted into Children's hospital with Pneumonia in his lungs. He was in the hospital for about a week & of course i stayed by his side the whole time. I couldnt bare leaving him all allone in that place. Im not saying its a bad place. But i wouldnt want to be by myself neither, So after he was released from there, he still wasnt feeling good & I was soo worried because ive never seen him feeling this bad. Plus you know that if a man cries than he isnt ok at all. Anywho, we got him checked off again & the doctors did a Urine Culture on him, well the test came back saying he has E coli in his bladder, so he was put on some meds to clear that up. After that cleared up he was doing good & was back to being Billy. Since Billy got his NEW chair last April 2011 he was having a hard time adjusting to it, because dont forget the stupid medical place left him without a wheelchair for 5 mos. (Ridiculous uhhh!) So he had to start all over. After a month or so longer Billy got use to his chair & figured out everything but he was still just not comfortable like he was in his other chair he had before. Billy was complaining that his neck & back has changed a lot through the whole 5 mos he was without a chair. All Billy did was dwell on how bad it was and he always thought about it so we went to the doctors for his back, to get an x ray done so Billy can relax. Well we got the x ray & the doctor said his spine is still curved & that it hasnt progressed too too much. We asked if surgery could fix it and hes doctor is not so sure he would want to proceed in having surgery done because he is afraid that the movement Billy doesnt have left, the surgery would ruin it. The doctor decided to write a prescription to get a back brace & see if that would do some miracles & help Billy. Im glad to say the back brace is AMAZING & its holding him up straight :) but as for the neck there isnt much he can do right now. Im just going to continue my stretches i do with him everyday.
Last week Billy called me saying he blacked out & forgot where he was when he was walking Valentine around campus. It scared the crap out of me because he was not his self, he continued to forget where he was & he wasnt making sense sometime when he was talking, so i told him were going to OSU Medical to see whats going on. So we went around 3 that afternoon & waited til 10:30 that night and NEVER was seen all that time. I was heated & just wanted to go off on someone, But we went home and decided to try & get in to the doctor tomorrow. The next day we was able to get in to his doctor. They did a urine culture & blood culture, he was positive for a UTI. We was so happy it wasn't anything severely worst. Id admit i was so scared he had a stroke. I'm def blessed God is looking over us :)
