Teleclass is working out well thus far for Kody. His case manager made mention of a social get together for the students and he showed interest in attending. They will meet up at the bowling alley right down the street which makes it convient. This is the first time he has showed interest in an event like that.
Kody's cardiologist mentioned wanting him to see an Orthopedic doctor for an evaluation of his scoliosis. I'm looking into making the appointment for this to check the status of his back curvature. He has begun to mention that he is having back pain that requires motrin. Since he is in no condition to have the surgery to correct his spinal curvature, the only option is to manage the discomfort.
It's hard to see things that I can't fix. He has a great spirit and way about him. Over all he is a great kid. Well I mean great young man.
He's managing his own school work with some assistance when it comes to writing or project throw together.
This blog will update and follow Kody, who perhaps has more strength than anyone had perceived he would.

Halter Monitor Results
It had been a bit since we mailed back the halter monitor to St. Josephs Hospital and I hadn't heard anything back. Most people would just take that as it was fine and no need to call. I'm not like most people, so I called in about it. The nurse said that things looked okay and that he only threw 4 PVC's (Premature Ventricular Contractions ) in a 24 hour period which to them isn't something completely concerning with the Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy. I've included the link in case you wondered what either of those things were. Trust me before his diagnosis I had no idea what half the things doctor's said meant. Since the diagnosis I have schooled myself and tried to keep my medical terminology knowledge up to date. Part of the reason for me going into the healthcare feild is because of all the medical issues that have arisen from my family tree. Knowledge is power and I fully believe in this.
Oh and if anyone knows where to get a youth's manual wheelchair, would you leave me some information in the comment. Insurance paid for the electric chair BUT those who have dealt with wheelchairs know that a manual is a necessity for alot of things.
((HUGS)) Thanks for checking in on little man ......
