One Awesom and one GRRR
 
Hi everyone,
Zeth has had a break thru. He has been walking with a walker just at his PT place.

Now his PT has given the OK to walk with his walker anywhere AS LONG AS we tote a chair behind him so when his brain turns off and he blacks out that we can sit him in the chair before he collapses to the ground.


Zeth walked 200 meters around the football track yesterday with his walker.


Of course the Grrr part is this: The Neuro wanted to try a new drug that may help with his blacking out, but the insurance nixed it saying they wanted more studies done on him to prove he needs this med.

So we set up a sleep study for next week and now the insurance says it isn't going to OK the sleep study. They don't think that this is a medical necessity.

Really blacking out while walking seems like a problem to me.:eek:
