Another day

Thank you Mama Hen and Ms. Henri---we (I) had not even thought of taking it to congressional levels; had thought of local TV channels (ha). We will check into that.

Got word from Ft Rucker his ordered were renewed even though case manager at Shepherd was told they weren't. We actually have a copy of them now which confirms Tricare continues, good for both Justin and coverage for Preston.

We were also informed that while case manager Danielle did give a referral to Shepherd she told Ft Rucker (for Tricare purposes) that the VA could accommodate Justin just as well as Shepherd. Another run-around and she was not at work today.

Ms. Smith from Ft Rucker also advised me that she still has not received medical records from the VA so that they can try to get a decision made so we asked for them today and actually received it this afternoon----all 300 pages!! Of course, what I've read so far mentioned nothing about the attitudes, lack of care or turning or specific ailments he never had until getting here. Mainly focuses on Justin's lack of cooperation or his unwillingness to share information or capabilities and overall bad attitude towards the VA. You think he has a bad attitude (LOL)!!

Today's report---he still feels blah even though temp was 97.9 and BP came back 123/77 BUT he's not urinating on his own now. They did an IC on him around 2:00 and got 400 cc. As of 8:00 tonight, he still had not urinated on himself or in his leg bag. He didn't drink much this morning but did have 1 1/2 vitamin waters, some hot chocolate and water and still nothing on his own. Another reason for paranoia to set in that another medical set back is about to happen. They've been wanting him on a foley catheter since last Wednesday and also mentioned doing a pic-line (two things he hasn't has since leaving Dothan).

I just don't know anymore and continue to thank you all for your continued support, suggestions, direction and prayers. WE thank you all so much for helping us to help watch out for Justin's best interest.
