Positive news from Jace’s Mom:
Jace update Wednesday 7/22: Jace is doing well and is improving each day. In this last week he has started marching band where he is trying to regain all the movements in his right arm and leg. He says his brain is moving faster than his body so it is taking some time to adjust and try to get things working faster. We had an appointment today with a Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation doctor in the med center. He will oversee all of the therapy and recovery long term. I was hoping he would help setup PT/OT and speech therapies that have been nonexistent so far. This was successful! I got a call this afternoon and he has evaluations for PT and OT next week then speech the following week. I also worked with our 504 Coordinator at school to implement accommodations for Jace as school starts in 2 weeks. These will help him be more successful and stay safe at school. We travel to San Antonio on Monday for 2 additional MRI’s, follow ups with the neurosurgeon and infectious disease doctor. I am trying to get the ID appointment moved to Monday so I don’t have to miss my first day back to work and we don’t have to spend the night in San Antonio. I have called, but gotten no where. We have had some great dinners provided from friends over the last week, this has been such a blessing. Please continue to pray for Jace’s movement on his right side and his processing to return to normal. Pray that we could get the Infectious disease appointment moved to Monday in San Antonio. Also pray for me as I am going to have to miss work to take Jace to these appointments. If you know me, you know I don’t like missing work. I know everyone understands and I have saved up a lot of days “just in case”, but I love my kids (students) and my job and hate to miss. Pray for the PT/OT and speech therapies to be setup somewhere convenient for Jace as well. He has a lot of work ahead of him, but he’s giving it all he’s got. Thank you so much for the prayers and support. We definitely feel loved.
