Patience is a Virtue

That is Mick's comment of the day.... I haven't written in a few days but I was approached by several people today so I thought I should give an update. Mick is basically the same. His vision has become worse but everything is where it has been. Left side paralysis, speech slurring still and when walking he is still stumbles, swaggerts what ever you call it. For the most part he's in good spirits unless you call him to ask how he's doing then he gets pretty emotional....His meds have doubled since last week trying to keep inflamation down. The steroids that they have him on makes him eat like he's never had a decent meal...needless to say he's gained some weight (yes, I think we can all agree he needed to anyhow) unfort. with this medication it also makes him aggitated more than he already has been. Not being able to do anything is driving him nuts.
So, that's the scoop. Positive of it all....we still have him to drive (me nuts) and we are taking one day at a time. With God's grace and everyone's prayers we will get through this; Patience is a virtue and I guess that's what we have to say everyday. He is still staying with his mom and dad during the day... As long as there are no issues with his symptoms this will continue until end of week when I'm at work; and then maybe next week he will be able to stay at home by himself.
Hope this helps answers any questions.
