Update 4/17/09
Christine took Michael to Rusk this morning to get checked out.
His Baclofen pump is working fine, but the doctors would like to admit him for further testing and re-evaluation.
Insurance will have to approve this first. So, if all goes as the doctor is planning, he'll come home now, stay at Christine's and on Monday go back to Rusk. The doctor wants to adjust his meds, this will require him to be there for observation, he also wants him to get a MRI to be sure nothing is up that a CT scan didn't show and have the therapy staff evaluate him.
I don't like that something is wrong, but I always welcome the opportunity for him to stay a while at Rusk, he has made progress while at Rusk that he's never made any other time. Over all, this won't be real convenient and I wish someone could look at him and say "I know what's wrong" and then fix it, but those things aren't very common, so this is not bad news at all. I feel more confident that Michael’s problem will be solved in the care of the doctors at Rusk than I would any other place.
Thanks for your continued care as we continue on – so far so good.
