Busy week!

Well, Missie has not felt well all week. Her tummy hurts and she has some other tummy problems that you all probably don't want to hear about, LOL. She has been having trouble for a while with her joints. We are afraid she may have a type of rhumatoid arthritis; as it is hereditary and is in Jr.'s family. But she is terrified to get blood drawn. I want her to go to the free clinic since we have no insurance on her and see what is wrong. We have to pray she will be brave enough to have blood drawn so we can see. This week her elbow feels like it is popping out of joint, and her arm goes numb, and then it will pop back in. A young girl shouldn't hurt as much as she does. Her knees are bad, too. Anyhow, she has been under the weather so to speak this week.

We have all therapies on hold, for Preston. Come to find out (just last week) that we had a co-pay for every visit he had! We did not know this until we got a bill for July. So the caseworker from the home health is trying to see if the hospital will pay the co-pay so he can have his therapies. But mentally, the walking has not clicked yet. The eating and talking clicked much sooner, but the walking hasn't. His balance is off, and he takes real high steps sometimes like he is climbing stairs.

We have no word of a ramp. And I found out this week that medicaid will not pay for the ambulance to transport him to the dentist. They will transport him to the dr., but not the dentist. So when he goes, Jr. will have to take him, to get him in and out of the car. I just canceled the appointment for now.

Our church is in revival this week; I have wanted to go, but by supper time, I am so exhausted every day. I just don't know if I will ever feel much better or now. The 19 years of having a sick child, and now fibromyalgia has taken its toll on my body. I expect probably I will be tired from here on out. I do pretty good in the mornings, but about 3 in the afternoon I start wilting. I hate it, but it is a fact.
We have had company for supper 2 nights this week which is a 1st in a long time. Jr.'s grandma (and the children's great grandmother) is in Greer, from Texas and she and her son, daughter and granddaughter came over on Monday evening. Then today Jr.'s parents came down, and were here for supper. They hadn't been down since Preston has been out of the hospital.

So that is the latest.
