Second Opinions Count.

I, along with my parents took Maw Maw to a geriatric doctor (doctor for the elderly) for a "2ND opinion" and to try and sort out her meds. I must say I was very impressed with this doctor. She was so kind and spent almost an hour with Maw Maw, trying to get a clearer picture. She sent for her records from Trinity and sent her for lab work and in 3 weeks we will have another appointment and get a game plan. In the meantime, we have stopped her seizure meds and a few others, to try and get her leveled out. She looked at me today and said " I love you, and I always have"... Ohhh that stuff just breaks me down. A few years ago when I first moved to Anniston Maw Maw, helped me out so much. I would not have been able to make it if it weren't for her and I would always feel bad and she would say, "You may have to help me someday." People have said, well maybe it is just her time or maybe you should give up and throw her in a nursing home. HELLO people, seriously, first of all do you know who you are talking to? I don't give up, I am so stubborn it is ridiculous and 2ND If I did give up it would not be on my family. If it were you would you want someone to take the first option if their was another answer? She told me she felt trapped like she couldn't control her mind. The doctor thinks we can "fix" most of this, which made me want to turn a flip (ya know if I could), BUT I also am realistic and know not to get my hopes up! We will see in 3 weeks! I pray her coming off the meds will help!!
Daddy is still waiting on word about an oncologist. Will update when I know more about that.
Ty is having fun with T-ball and his friend Briley is on his team, so TJ and I are so excited that the boys get to play together!
Uhmmm Miss. Belle colored herself with a pen today, that was fun to clean. Tyler was stoked that it wasn't him getting in trouble. Almost funny but not quite.

Seriously

So Tyler has started T-ball which I am super excited about! It is so sweet! He has had 2 practices and is catching and hitting the ball.. however running I hear is not his strong point.. never would have guessed it. Tell him its bedtime, trust me that boy will run.

Maw Maw has been "home" for a week now, some mild improvements but nothing drastic. Her mind breezes in and out. She may talk totally coherent and the next sentence be something totally off the wall. She doesn't want to eat. Her meds are a complete mess from so many doctors. And she refuses to sleep. My parents are completely exhausted. I went and put her to bed on Monday, and she cried for me to stay and that killed me, so I stayed until she calmed down and it is just a bad situation. She has a doctors appointment in the morning and hopefully something will come together.

My dad has started to feel a little better and they decided to put his chemo pump back in BUT (are you ready for this), his oncologist quit, like just up and left the Cancer Center. So none of those people have anyone to give their chemo. Seriously does this stuff happen to other people. So the clinic told him, they are going to try and get another oncologist to come in and if they can't get one in a week he will have to be transfered to another cancer center in another city! INSANITY. Those poor poor patients, that is so terrible. My heart goes out to them all, I know they must be scared to death.
