Okay, well they've changed the date to the 17th, but that's only next Friday. And that gives us time to figure everything out. But on some bad news side, one of his cousins had called and talked to him and then called my mom and told my mom that she needed to take him to the hospital because she could hear the phlegm in his voice over the phone and if she could hear it over the phone then it was pretty bad in person and then she called Triston back and he told her he was fine, but she called the freaking cops and told the cops that we were neglecting him and that they needed to check on him to make sure he was okay. I'm spitting mad right now. The only reason I haven't went completely off on her is because there is a very religious lady in my house right now who is urging me to let the Lord take care of it.
AT'S AWESOME! I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!
WE HAVE A DATE. Texas called today and told us that they've agreed to go ahead and take him as a patient. He'll be admitted into the hospital, and they'll be doing a clinical trial. We're supposed to hear back from them today to know if they've scheduled him for Friday or Monday. They don't do clinical trials on Fridays, but the doctor was going to call his business department and try to get Triston in anyway. If the appointment is Friday we have to leave tomorrow cause it's going to take 2 days to drive it, stopping overnight, and if the appointment is Monday we'll be leaving Friday. BUT OMG WE HAVE A DATE AND HE'S GOING STRAIGHT INTO TREATMENT, NO WAITING. THIS IS SO EXCITING IT CALLS FOR CAPSLOCK.
Jeez. I'll keep him in my thoughts
He's not good. His doctor here in Kentucky wants to put him on Hospice, but we really don't want to do that because that's considered the last step, ya know? You call hospice in when you're dying and there isn't anything else you can do, and well we aren't giving up just yet! He's still fighting his hardest to get to Texas. We are supposed to have a date for a consult this afternoon or tomorrow. Usually it would be that he would go down for a consult and then come back home while they deliberated taking him on as a patient, but it's looking like he'll be going for a consult and immediately starting treatment. Hopefully by this weekend, the beginning of next week we will be in Texas!
Update on your brother?
We've all got our fingers crossed that he'll beat the odds.
That's horrible I wish there was something more I could do or say to help. There's always a chance he'll pull through, however small it may be. But if not, I hope you can make his last days worthwhile... I'm so sorry.
Well, our family has managed to keep a positive attitude despite the fact that my brother has progressively been getting worse, but today our family took a kick in the gut. The doctors have now put an expectancy date on Triston. They're giving him 6 months tops. His doctor informed us that even if we got to Huston, Triston likely isn't going to recover, and he's gotten so bad the last two weeks that it might not even be possible for him to go to Huston because of how far away it is. :/
He went to the hospital last night, and they did a catscan but that came back that fine, so they just sent him home. He's slept pretty much all day.
