I haven't been able to speak with anyone yet and will try to update again tonight.
Hot off the presses: Dad just said---
Don't know if you got any of my messages but I got here at 10:30 and Justin was nauseous. He has a UTI since Sunday and the cultures came back yesterday so they started him on anti-biotics. They're making him nauseous and his BP had took a big dip earlier going down to something like 87/42. They got him on a bag and do the IC's @ 8 every 12 hours now. He didn't tell them early enough about the Braves game so he wasn't able to go. We went to the seating clinic and Justin picked out his chair based on his needs and the info they provided. It's a nice chair, but I asked them if they were ordering or configuring and they were going to order or inform the insurer. I asked them to hold up on that parts until I could talk to Barb to see the best way to go about the equipment as far as insurer verses VA. They thought that was a good idea to get the best equipment for Justin and who would cover and who would not. TriCare sees a lot of the chair equipment as frivulous and will not cover it unless it is medically necessary. Got that done and Justin was even more sick so we went back up to the room just as lunch was brought in. Justin said he couldn't eat and wanted some nausea meds as well as pain. They brought his meds but he couldn't eat yet so I talked him into trying some gingerale to sooth his stomach and after a few sips he said he wouldtry to eat something. About 4 forks of macaroni and 3 of the green beans was all he could stand. He said he thought he was full of shit literally but that it was probably in his head. KiKi said to call her when he was ready and they would see. He had to go to PT so I told him I would be back after I got checked in. Before I got out of the parking lot he text me nd said Jenn nd him in the rec room. So I went back up and we discussed the remodeling and the house. Took all of Justin's PT time but he was glad. Jenn said it looked like we were ahead of the game and had thought things thru. Justin had TR with Katie so once again I told him I would get checked in and be back
Will update you when I have more details or answers to what is going on!!!
Love you guys, the prayers work, even when they seem like 'down' days!!!!
