It's Good News and Bad News

-
Much like most of the news you get from your doctor, we got a little bit of both. First off, the good news is that there does not appear to be an infection in Skylers back or a problem associated with the hardware. That is great, because it means we can get out of panic mode about having to go in and remove the hardware.

But the bad news is they couldn't see any problem that would give us a clue about how come he is in pain. So the plan now is that when Skylers orthopedic doctor gets back into the hospital on Thursday, he will go look at the results of the PET scan along with the radiologist and see if there was anything that might have been missed.

So it is wait time now, and I hate waiting. I actually wanted something to be wrong, because something tangible can be treated. Now we are back to guessing...

    We're all pulling for the Sky man. Let's hope the doctors can figure it out and get him back to 100%.

    I agree that the 'knowing' is easier that guessing.

    You, sir, are a man of action. Someone once said, "The waiting is the hardest part" and I know that's true.

    I just hope when they put there heads together tomorrow, they have the "aha!" moment.

    That both sucks and rocks at the same time. I mean nothing noticable to worry about but yet, nothing noticable to treat. Damn!

    Glad to hear they ruled that out. You may not know what it is yet, but you now know one thing it isn't.

    Red and I will say some prayers for him, you and the Mrs.

    I'm glad to hear that it apparently isn't the hardware and we're pulling for Sky.

    Well, I guess you get to look at sexy nurses some more. That's always fun.

    I really hope they find out what is the matter and fix him right up so he doesn't hurt anymore.

    I hate not knowing too. I do NOT need any reasons to create bizarre scenarios in my head. Just tell me what I'm dealing with, so I can wrap my brain around it.

Repost: Everyone uses the word, what's your problem

This is from 2009, but I wanted to re-post it because today is "Spread the word to end the word" day. Every time I hear somebody refer to Skyler as "retard" I die a little more inside. Our-kids is a group of over 1000 people who all are people who are in one way or another in the special needs community. Most of us are parents, but there are teachers, doctors, therapists, siblings, and some are the person with the diagnosis. It is a worldwide community, but most are from the United States. We benefit from having an international membership, because it can be quite interesting to hear about viewpoints or medical procedures that are going on in other countries. Over the years, I have had faceless names become close friends, engaged in discussions about body functions you wouldn’t mention to your doctor, and gained a valuable sounding board for advice and ideas. I have grown to care about a lot of these people, and their lives as much as some of my own friend

Goodbye old friend. Hootie: 1997-2009

I'll never forget the day I first saw him. We were driving home from Golden and Kathy said "Why don't you go this way?" We headed down a street I had never been on and found ourselves driving by a little strip mall. Then Kathy says "Turn in here a minute." Now my spidey senses are on alert, and sure enough, we wind up parking in front of a pet store. Kathy had been out in Golden a couple of days before and had found Hootie sitting in a cage looking so lonely. When we walked in, there was a sad little puppy up high in his own cage, with a sign that had 2 different prices crossed out and the third was pretty low. He had been taken and then returned to the pet store. I knew right then that we were heading home with another dog, I had been suckered! I still wasn't quite over the loss of our Golden Retriever, but I never do seem to get over the loss of a pet. Kathy knows that I need a replacement though, and seeing as we always have dogs in pairs, our
