Timothy

Yesterday was spent focused on Vicki's birthday and helping to raise support for Timothy's medical costs. I thought this morning I should bring everyone back up to speed on the patient.

Vicki's initial response this morning, "He's grumpy and dizzy." So there you have it folks we have a grumpy young man today. Have any of you Mom's ever taken care of a grumpy sick child? Well, it certainly is not too fun.

He was supposed to have some hearing/ear tests today. However, it is almost 3 pm on Friday so Vicki is not sure it will happen today. The current plan is for discharge on Tuesday. They will stay in Joburg the rest of the week and fly to Houston on Monday.

Timothy is obviously getting bored with the hospital today. He did eat a McDonald's burger! Whoo Hoo. I told him I was preparing the blog and was there anything he wanted me to tell the 'world'. His reply was simply, "Going insane and I'm deaf'. Vicki told me that the deafness in the one ear is really bothering him today. Redonia has a hearing loss in one ear and my Mom has some hearing issues. I told him they could all 3 go and get some cute little hearing aids. He replied in sarcasm "Not funny". His arm is better. We still have some conerns that will be addressed once he gets to Texas Children's.

Timothy could almost buy his first sports car with the cost of their airfare to the states. They could not get a 21 day ticket to receive the discount because he needs to quickly be under the care of doctors here. Additionally he had to fly businees class. Pray their budget is raised quickly. Thanks for the love and prayers you have shown our family!
