Thanks for the update Rick and I am happy he is doing a little better. They need to run that MRI or CAT scan to see what's going in his bean.
Catching up, good to see progress and interaction, positive or negative. Great on the MRI, I hope that turns up nothing, but if so, it will part of the recovery. Best and prayers to all of you.
Did not get the MRI done. He wouldn't may still so they did not get it done. They are probably going to do it but may be with him sedated.
So talked with the PA and what little MRI they got done showed some white spots in the front of the brain. Said this would explain some of his behavior. Doing MRI on Monday sedated. May move him to Charlotte to a rehab center for brain injury in a few weeks. PA said it could take up to a year for him to get back to normal. I know it would be good for him but going to make it tough since the wife is going away for a few weeks for her job requirements. Not sure how I will manage a kid here in school and a kid in Charlotte in rehab and a FIL that needs some help also. What a mess!
I'm still sending prayers your way. It sounds like you have your hands full and then some. Seems like when it rains, it pours. I know it sounds like a useless platitude, and it's hard to take in; but God won't put more on you than you can handle. Oftentimes, He'll put more on you than you want, but at some point He will give you the strength to handle it.
Great news Rick. It will be long row to hoe, but a good outcome at the end will make it all worth the hard work. Wish I was closer to help. Hang in there. Best wishes for your son & family. Good vibes headed your way.
Yesterday he was more awake than any other day. More like himself but still not quite right. Does have a small fracture on his right shoulder blade but nothin to worry about. He ate three meals, got a bed bath and talked coherently in sentences. Thanks to you all for caring. I don't know or even have met most of y'all but sure is a nice family here.
That's great news, my friend! The prayers for you and yours never cease, ya know. I'll say extra ones for you and your son, though...for his journey back and for you and your care for his family during this highly emotional time and beyond.
Great news.......and yes we are one big happy, very dysfunctional, only want to see each other at MOTD, family!
