Whats Next?

So are lives have been busy and full of Dr's. My poor husband has the worst luck in the world. I have never met someone who has gone through so much at one time. He has started his own business with our good friends the Herbert's. Justin and Danny have been doing a great job to get work and be successful. If you want check it out it is Layin Ink! www.layinink.com However in the middle of all the stress that comes with running a business he has had the worst health of his life. Luckily for us Justin continues to work hard without complaining while Danny goes to Dr. after Dr.



So it stared with stomach pains that lasted months. They still don't know what is wrong. They think it might be Chrones disease but are not sure. And to make a long story short after seeing specialist one after another the last Dr. has now sent us to the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale. However we are fighting the insurance company to pay for things.



So then while we are dealing with all of this we go up to Utah for my sisters wedding. I had already been there with the kids. Danny was in California and a screen printing convention. So once Danny got to us in Utah he gets really sick. So I take him to the urgent care and we are told that he might have the swine flu. He got soo sick it scared me to death. He got a false negative on the test but the doctor said he would bet his house in Vegas that it was a false negative. That they just took the test to early. They wanted him to come back in but Danny said the test they do does not feel good. We never went back. So I'm leaving out a lot of details because I don't know how much Danny wants me sharing. But for journaling purposes I am writing it down. For days he was the sickest I have ever seen him. I can't imaging a child getting sick with the swine flu. Now I know first hand why people are dieing from it.



When it came time to go home we fill him full of pills. You know the good stuff and drive home all night. He had been complaining of neck pain and warm burning feelings in his arm. We make it home and the next morning he wakes up and says his mouth is numb feeling like he has been at the dentist. But he ignores it thinking it will go away. However it doesn't the next morning he woke up and his whole left side of his face is paralyzed like he had a stroke. So his dad takes him down to the ER. We find out it is not a stroke but what is called Belles Palsy. It could last from 3 weeks to 3 months. Poor guy. He can't even blink or shut his eye by himself. He has to use eye drops and wear an eye patch to bed so he doesn't get dry eye. His neck is in constant pain and his eye aches . Thank goodness for pain killer right!! So for now we just wait and pray.



Soon I will get around to blogging the wedding and the first day of school pictures. I keep waiting for things to calm down but they never do.
