Yep... still sick

Well today has been quite the adventure... well every day is an adventure but this one for sure. We woke up and got ready and then we went to the doctors because Rick is still sick!! So we got him in the car and drove to the doctors.. got him out of the car... the doctor checked him out and wanted us to go to the hospital and get a blood test.. so got back in the car and drove to the hospital.. got out of the car and got Rick's blood drawn... got back in the car and went back to the doctors to wait for the results.. got back out of the car and went into the doctors office.. of coarse waited in a little room for a while.. the doctor came in and said his white blood cell count was a little high but not too bad so maybe it's the antibiotics that is making him sick but we need to finish them out for the infection, so pretty much he'll be sick for at least three more days, but we can handle it... then we got back in the car and grabbed food.. came home and got out of the car and ate food! So yep there's our day. For most people getting in and out of the car is not something you think about, but when you're transfering someone that needs full assist it's a different story. But actually the transfers went good today, no hurting my back which is always a good thing. We both feel a little less stressed about Rick's illness.. hopefully it's just the antibiotics and we'll be done with it soon. If it doesn't go away when we're done with the pills... then we have alot of tests, but that's too far away to think about. I think it will go away when he's done taking the pills. I think it's safe to say we're just going to stay home and chill on the coach the rest of the night... today drained us!!! Hopefully next time I write.. I'll tell you how healthy Rick is feeling and he's back to working hard in therapy. I just look at this sickness as the last bad thing before he just gets all better. We have to have one more trial before it's all over and this is just a memory. I know we'll have more trials along the way but I sure hope and pray we're almost done with this journey we're on and we'll be on to the next. Don't worry I'll post pictures of the miracle happening... small miracles happen every day!
