Update on X-Ray

HALLELUJAH!!!!!!! The doctors did an x-ray to try and figure out why Joey was having so much pain in his hips & tailbone. The x-ray showed that he has a malformation that causes him pain if he lays on his back for too long. After each SCT they have him lay flat on his back for 6 hours…..Thank goodness it isn’t caused by the stem cells. I am soooo relieved!!!! Now they will allow him to lay on his side after each SCT and treat him for the bone problem. Accupuncture would not help his situation so he won’t be getting that done.
We may have to postpone our little outing this weekend until Joey is feeling better but at least everyone is aware of the problem now and he can concentrate on getting stronger. I know we both feel much better knowing the problem is not with the stem cells.

Dana and Joey – Love reading the blog – lets us know how you are doing and it sounds like everything is going well!!!!! Since the “truck is out of the bag” let me tell you that we are having a BBQ fundraiser on April 9th – drive-thru chicken dinner. I talked with Patsy Brending and she is going to show Ann Pomykal the website and pics so she knows that Joey is doing well. Patsy has also offered to pay for the tickets to be printed. So we hope to raise enough that the truck will be available for Joey when he is able to drive. BUT Joey has to take Aunt Annie for the ride that J.D. was never able to take her on in his truck!!! We will iron out the details in due time – so thankful that it sounds like this is working – Praise God! Joey – hang tough – JD had days like yours and he would “zone out” mentally until the pain went away so hang in there baby and we can’t wait to see you back home again! Love and Kisses- Momma Hurta
