So, I went to see Dj last night at my mom's in Bonifay and fixed supper with the assistance of my sister. He was really tired. The therapist had come to see him and a nurse changed his leg dressings. We also found out that he has surgical blisters on his legs and feet, his left ankle is fractured and he has a mouth full of thrush. I was thinking, how many more things could happen right?
Well, I thought too soon. When I called to check on him today at lunch, mom said he complained of chest pain. So they called his nurse and she said to call 911. After the EMT's checked him out, they determined that he had a panic attack. I guess this is common after a traumatic event, and obviously, he has had a traumatic event.
A local doctor is going to come out and see him tomorrow afternoon at mom's to determine if he needs anti-anxiety pills for a while and to possibly adjust his pain meds. Dad told me they are also going to request a hospital bed for him as well. DJ says the hospital bed is much more comfortable for his legs. he has been really uncomfortable in a regular bed and has a difficult time trying to move his body into a comfortable position. I really believe if he can get rested he will have great improvements. HE NEEDS REALLY GOOD SLEEP>
David and dad went to DJ's house yesterday and brought his TV, DVD's & X BOX to keep him entertained. I don't think he has really used them yet, he doesn't sleep well, so i think the entertainment will come in handy in the future.

All in all, he has a long way to go, but I am very thankful he is not any worse. Please continue to pray for mom, dad, Rachel & DJ.
Rachel has had to go back to work... and i am sure she is stressed and worried for DJ when she is away.
