What a rocky roller coaster ride we're on. This bump in the road is not that big a deal in the greater scheme of things, but it sure made for a miserable and disappointing day. Jay now has an intestinal bacteria that has given him some serious tummy trouble. It wiped him out and made him feel so sick, he couldn't do therapies today. He's now taking meds for pain and nausea, and Flagyl, the treament for the culprit bug. It's such a bummer because not only did he feel awful, we had to skip therapy. An intestinal bacteria....geez, what next?
We were all ready for a really pumped up day. Jay's PT brought some awesome stickers and decals for Jay's helmet. With "Squeezie Boy" on the front, (my nickname for Jay) and "Pres Jay" on the back, it's a very cool deal. Everyone was disppointed that Jay felt too sick to work today. We were all looking forward to the fun and elation of more amazing progress.
Here's hoping that the meds kick in, Jay is able to sleep tonight, tomorrow is a better day, and we can get back on track. Gosh darn't, everything was going so well.................
