Julie I think one of the reasons they did not notice about his eyes is he is asleep alot when they come to see him because it is so early in the morning. They have done several CT scans though so they told me his brain seems normal. I am here with him the most and I know what he was like before the accident. I did not actually notice it at first either and when I did at first I thought he was just drowsy. But then I started looking and noticed his pupils being different sizes. It scared me so I called the nurse right away. She said oh that is probably nothing serious but talk to the dr when he comes. So I told the doctor in the morning and he looked and said yes you are right there is a noticeable difference in his pupils. Im not sure why I did not notice that before. But I told him well you come so early it is hard to tell whether he is just really tired or if he had an issue. So he got looking at his chart and that is when he told me that info about the tubes to drain the fluid from around his lungs. Waiting for the results of the CT scan again and to see what the dr which came here tonight says.
Nick is doing pretty good. Well as good as can be expected. Once Johnny gets into the new place next door I am going to contact the school to find out about support groups they have there. I know there is one and Id like for him to be in it when school starts and also going to look for a counseler near our house. I do remember when my dad died (only memory I have of my dad actually). He had a heart attack in the middle of the night and my mom said he would be fine and he wasn't. I just remember missing him so much. Still do and heck that was 30 years ago. So I try to be as honest as I can with Nick and want him to have someone outside the house who is trained to deal with it as well as kids his own age who have lived with what he is dealing with as well to talk to and share with.
Crystal started her CVS job today. had a bunch of orientation tests as well as the start of the pharmacy tech tests. She had some issues with the orientation tests and missing a question on the test. They want you to get 100% on each test before you can move on so she had to keep retaking it.But she is pretty much thrilled to be moving on from Mcdonalds. We are too
