Quick Update

Ryan had a follow up Dr. Appointment with the Cardiologist today. They did a chest xray and found some fluid "sort of" in his legs. He said, "The fluid is not IN your lungs but it is in the area your lungs are." Too bad I'm not remembering anything from those Anatomy classes I took. Anyway- the Dr didn't seem too worried about it. They are giving him some medication that will make him pee a lot- and they're hoping he'll just pee out the fluid. I don't know how you pee out fluid in your lung area. But apparently... You can.
So Ryan has passed his Physical Therapy. They no longer come to the home since Ryan seems to be doing just fine on his own. Same with Occupational Therapy. The Speech Therapist who helps Ryan with his memory said she doesn't think she needs to come anymore. His memory, although not PERFECT, has gotten so much better. Everyone is SHOCKED about how quickly he is recovering. And I know it's due to all those prayers.. so THANK YOU!
As far as returning back to work.. a tentative date is December or January. Of course... right around Christmas. Gurr. I think this year I'll be making all my gifts. I'll try anyway. Luckily Jayden is young and doesn't know the difference so that makes me feel peaceful about the whole lack of Santa this year :). It sucks but considering everything we have been through. Im just grateful that we'll all be together- and honestly nothing else matters.
Still no word on Disability or Workers Comp. I'm starting to get nervous. We're okay right now... but won't be in a few weeks. I'm trying not to think about that and I'm hoping everything will just work out. I don't have the energy to freak out about anything. :) I know it'll work out. I didn't know it would be such a long process. Jayden has his well check appt next Wednesday and I'll get some more diabetic supplies before our insurance is gone at the end of the month.... Not that our insurance covers that much to begin with. Stupid insurance. Maybe I should go full time? ... Yeah I can't.
We're plugging along. Im doing better. Getting into a schedule and I can change an IV now in two minutes. (I hope Im doing it right). Ryan can now shower by himself. He's still sleeping in that recliner. When he comes back to bed it's going to be hard sharing it. I have been sleeping smack dab in the middle every night. Poor Ryan.
Oh one more thing... Ryan went to three hours of church on Sunday!! What a stinkin pro :) I was so proud of him. He even sat in a bench.
