Well---seems we go day-to-day with a new version of who is responsible for what.
As of 1:30a.m. CST I had sent an email to the Governor of Georgia, Sonny Perdue and also to the email address online for Sen. McCain---not sure what will come of either.
By 8:00 a.m. CST we had received a call from Tricare who advised us the final decision now rests in the hands of Colonel (Dr.) Renta at Ft Rucker. Shepherd then called and stated they needed Justin's verbal approval to release documents to the Colonel's office so she got the impression that they were working on that decision. It is now 2:11pm CST and Danielle is in a conference and Ms. Smith is now out of the office so we continue to wait on if a decision has been made yet. Do not have a clue if it will be a yes answer but were told the transfer can happen within 24 hours if we get a yes.
We found Justin in better spirits but with new sensation---in his private area which now means the ICPs he's having to get 4 times a day are "hurting like He*l" He is seriously considering going back to a foley until someone can figure out what has caused the sensation and the reason he has stopped being able to pee on his own. Hopefully this will be a conversation he will be able to have with our beloved Dr. Bilsky.
He stays cold while he's up in the chair and can't cool off enough when he's laying down. Oh, they also forgot to rehook his seatbelt after the IC so he was running the halls without his safety latch on. Good thing he wanted a blanket, that's when we found it wasn't on.
I don't think this place likes us anymore which makes us wonder why they aren't trying hard to get us out of here (lol)!!
For all of you that have continued to donate time and money as well as support and advice, we will never be able to repay our gratitude. It is a true blessing to have all of you in our lives, without you ALL this journey would have taken its toll on us in so many ways!!
We will update as soon as we know something, love you all!!

I so love you guys......what a battle you have waged for this beautiful child of yours..I know somehow the right things are going to happen! I am so glad Shepherd's was first on the list of stops for ya'll...you KNOW what is supposed to be and the possibilities....image if you never knew?...God has a plan for ya'll...you have lives to continue to touch! Remind Justin how loved he is here......we saw him in the lowest and worst days! He IS so strong and I know will prevail! Tell me you have a picture album of these great pictures in his bedroom space.....can you find a picture that even glimmers a "bad attitude"?....not me...I see laughter and fun and determination....share these pictures with the folks at the VA...without saying the words...show them the possibilities!
