The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 3

[MinnieMouseMom]

Well I know it's been awhile since I have been online, but I read quite often. I wanted to share what has happened in Mya's life this week.

Over the last few weeks, I had decided to get my life back in line spiritually and on Sunday evening said a prayer for my daughter to be healed, having faith in the Lord that if it was his will, then it would happen. (Been reading a bit of Luke). So with that being said I went to work on Monday. Well around noon I get a call from the wife. Mya has just gotten out of therapy and had decided to throw her crutches down and walk by herself approxamently 15 feet. This is a girl who had only taken TWO steps before by herself without falling.

She has continued on this pace and last night walked approxamently 20+ feet without falling 4 times!

She is not "cured" from cp, but mentally she has been strengthened to try and walk by herself and not "fear" falling down. Now when she falls, she's like "hold on I can do it." She will then craw to a wall raise herself up and proceed from there.

Thanks for letting me share my story.

She is also still working on potty training and still doesn't want to tell us when she needs to go, but is holding it most of the time until we take her. Just one or two accidents per day.

That's wonderful!!!

Nice to see you, Kristine. Hopefully things will get back to normal for you! How is your family doing?

Hi Glynis...

Thanks for asking! I am trying to deal with Bill's mother and it can be tough. Unfortunately a terrible accident several years ago wiped out all of their money. Now that he has died...SS and his pension are gone. Like Denise, I am stuck in the horrible world of medicade! But..one day at a time huh?

Kids are all doing well...

I just bought airlines tickets to Vegas to surprise Bill for our anniversary. I can't wait to see some sunshine!!

Definitely one day at a time! I'm so sorry that you have to deal with all the money mess! Vegas sounds nice right about now! It's kind of chilly, here and the Vegas warmth and sunshine would do me a world of good! When are you going?

Thanks for the update...I also wanted to know!! Medicaid and all the paper work that goes with it seems to be a necessary evil. Evil still!!
One day at a time!!
Hope you get to enjoy the sunshine of Vegas soon!

Sometimes we don't realize we just need to "Let Go and Let God"..........I am so happy for your family. Continue to pray for the patience of Job and faith like Abraham.

April 29th - May 3rd. Bill is a sun worshiper...So I am hoping by the end of April it will be pretty warm. I don't enjoy laying in the sun for long periods...so I go shopping!!

 

[bear74]

Glad to see you online again. Your story is wonderful. It is so nice that Mya is doing so well.

UPDATE:

I have wonderful news about the little boy I asked you all to pray for last night

he is in a medically induced coma - he has a staph/strep b infection in his hip and appears to be responding to the medical treatment.

He is not out of the woods yet but our priest seems very optimistic and things definately look better than they did yesterday - at least now they know what they are dealing with

please continue to keep him in your prayers - I will let you know as I get more updates

Do you have a 1st name?? I know that God knows who you are talking about but it is easier for me if I have a name. If not don't worry about it.....like I said....God knows!!!

Boy oh boy, the DDA is a powerful place when we all come together for a common good. A good friend of mine had an infection like that that had gotten into her blood stream. Luckily they caught it in time and were able to treat it, but her doctor told her that it could have been lethal. I'm so happy for the little boy and his family. I will continue my prayers for them.

That is great news!!!!

I just heard on the news this morning a little 7 yo 1st grade girl in Massachusetts was sent home from school sick on Monday and she died from meningitis (sp?) on Tues at 2 am. Her poor family. I couldn't help thinking about "your" little boy when I heard this. It is so nice to hear he's doing better and that there is hope. He'll be on my list.

 

[rosiejo]

I am ready to start selling my bags but I don't think I am allowed to advertise that here on the DIS - but I think that it can be word of mouth - how does everyone know about Feralpeg? hmmm....anyone know the laws of that here on the DIS? I guess if anyone wants more information on the bags you can send me a PM!!

Not sure if anyone's answered this one. You have to ask permission. Alicia told me this when I wanted to tell people about our charity blog. I emailed the webmaster and my email kept getting rejected as spam and so I PMd him and never got a response! Figure they just don't want anyone to "advertise"...

 

[lmartin2711]

Has anyone noticed I only have 23 days until my cruise

I can't wait.....I am getting very excited!!!

Boy oh boy, the DDA is a powerful place when we all come together for a common good.

Would you guys mind adding my Mom to your list too (Dorothy). She was sick last spring with the flu and got weak and fell on April 2nd. She called a neighbor who called an ambulance and they brought her to a not so great hospital. That hospital thought she had an infection (they now say they were contaminating her blood when they took the samples) and they put her on a very strong antibiotic. She was already having problems with colitis and this antibiotic just destroyed her. She was there for 3 weeks and they only had her on IV fluids so she was very week but the time we fought with the insurance company and got her transfer to a great hospital where she had her gall bladder, colon, large intestine and piece of her small intestine removed. She was in intensive care for 6 weeks and most of the time we weren't sure she would make it. She was in rehab and a nursing home until Oct when she went home with 24hr care in her home. She was just starting to make good progress when she ended up back in the hospital on Christmas day. She's not dealing well with the colostomy, has been having memory issues, isn't eating well and won't participate in rehab. When I saw her 2 weeks ago she didn't even know who I was. Well now we find out she has a thyroid problem and the doctor thinks that could be a HUGE part of her memory and "attitude" problems. I saw her last weekend and she knew me right away and just seemed so much more in tune with reality. She's only got 45 more days of insurance and then we're not sure what to do. She may not be ready to go home but we don't want to sell her house and have her not be able to ever go home. She just turned 78 last week so she's still so young. Prayers for my Mom would be very appreciated and I can now see the power this group has.

That is absolutely amazing. Way to go Mya. You must be the most proud Dad in the world.
