Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!!!! Well, I am thankful that we got a couple of good night's sleep there, because apparently, it's over. Unfortunately Billy Boy is having some rough mornings again. Luckly he restarts antibiotics next Friday.

I am thankful that Billy Boy is still here, that he (aside from the brain injury and all the stuff that goes with it) is relatively healthy, and that he has managed to stay out of the hospital for over a year and a half.

I am thankful for Monet, she is my saving grace! I am thankful that she, inspite of all this, is a very well grounded, intelligent, compassionate, understanding, beautiful, loving little girl.

I am thankful for my husband, for all his help, love and the laughter he brings to our home.

And I am thankful for our home, for our bills being paid, and for making it through these trying times. I am also thankful for all the people that have come, prayed for, or been a part of, our lives may God continue to bless us all.

Botox shots

Phew! It's over...finally. Billy Boy received Botox shots and the Doctor put him on Neurontin for nerve sensitivity. As soon as we started the Neurontin, there was an immediate change in him. What a difference! He is calm, smiling again, relaxed, and yes... sleeping at night. Thank God, it was rough for the last six months.

It's hard to express everything we go through, but I can say every feeling of missing the boy he was, talking to him , playing with him, every little thing we did with him is INTENSIFIED by a thousand when he is in constant pain. It is the most depressing, hopeless thing in the world.

At least this seems to be working and is giving us time to breath again!

Sorry I haven't updated in a while, we have been going through a rough patch. Billy Boy has been in a lot of pain and is having trouble sleeping nights. He is going in for Botox next Thursday and hopefully that will help.

Monet is doing great at school and has been practicing fro the Christmas production at church.

We are trying to hang in there mentally, physically, and spiritually.
