Continued update.....Tonight is our week mark of being home and out of the hospital. He has not had a spasm for 10 days! Overall he feels pretty good considering all that has happened over the past 5 weeks. Mitch still tends to be tired, slow in his movements, weak (he lost 18 pounds) and has a hard time sleeping. All things we were told would happen. He has been to physical therapy 3 times now and is responding very well. As you can imagine he is very tight and sore.
He had an issue at school yesterday that landed him back in an ambulance and a visit to the ER. He had a withdrawal issue and was shaking uncontrollable, throwing up, sweating, etc. The good news is he did not have another spasm through out the whole episode yesterday. He is in the process of weaning off all the heavy narcotics and it seemed to catch up with him yesterday. They gave him a shot in the ER and within 3 minutes he was calmed down and we were released an hour later. He did fine last night after coming home.
No one said the road to full recovery would be easy but overall he is doing very good all things considered. Your continued support, prayers and thoughts are greatly appreciated. Your past support has helped carry us through this ordeal and again words cannot express our deep gratitude for all the support. Thanks
So glad he's doing well! It's wonderful to see him out and about and back at school and church! Still praying for a continued smooth recovery.

ReplyDeleteI take it you still have no diagnosis? Please check out ILADS.org. It may or may not help, but it's a shot.
