Another trip to Athens Regional yesterday. His discharge doctor from NE GA medical center, refused to write his refills on his meds (two addictive ones that you have to be weaned off of) told me to call Ricky's primary care physician.
He has yet to see his primary doctor because that's the first appointment we missed because of transportation issues. When I called to reschedule they were sooo nice to me (not!) that they rescheduled him for the 20th of this month....smh....
I also suspected a UTI. And I was concerned about that drainage tube coming out. I tried so hard to get the doctor on call to remove the rest of Ricky's staples from his healing bedsore but he wanted the plastic surgeon to do it. Since Ricky was not septic and antibiotics could be prescribed he wasn't admitted. We got there at 6:30pm and arrived home 4:30am. My sister in law Kim was awesome enough to come and sit with me while Ricky had his tests done. (Thank you P! Not enough words to thank you for all you do!❤️)
They thought they were done and I said what about the urine? Oh you wanted that tested too. Ummmm yes please. 🙏 thank goodness I did because he's on antibiotics now. And back home with me.
FF to 12:30pm and we were on our way to the plastic surgeon in Gainesville to get the staples removed.
Ricky got an awesome report, everything was removed. We go back in two weeks hopefully for the last visit 🙏
While there I ran into a good friend of mine I used to work with that now works for the transportation company I use. It was so good to see you Brandon!!! I feel like I've had no contact with the outside world for so long it was so nice to see a good friend!! 💜
So I Succeeded in getting Ricky's meds refilled but did not succeed with getting him admitted which I had hoped would start the referral process over again.....no such luck.
So before I lawyer up I will be calling all of my state reps from top to bottom to see if they can help us.
If not then I will be forced to get a lawyer in order to continue to fight for Ricky's health and quality of life. I will have exhausted ALL of my resources.
Ricky's asleep with all of his meds in him, continuing to heal and gain strength daily. He still amazes me!! Someone has to give him a chance!!! He has way too much potential.
I hope that we have a restful night and he will be ready for speech therapy in the morning.
Thanks for the continued support and prayers from EVERYONE we appreciate all of you ❤️❤️ XOXO
