Update March 23rd 9:18 am

The Doctors just left and when I say doctors I think I counted 11 of them!!! They have told me they're just like Grey's Anatomy but they're just not as good looking. It's interesting to be at a teaching Hospital and see how things are ran and how they teach the up and coming Doctors. So, they said that his MRI that he had yesterday looked great, there was no new damage that they could see, and maybe a little bit of signs that it was starting to heal. Great news! So, today Acey is getting another spinal tap which will be now 4 total, and we are hoping that the infection is gone. Normally spinal fluid is crystal clear just like water, but Acey's has been cloudy with a tint of yellow, which is of course is not normal. We are anxious of course to see how it comes out, that should take place later this afternoon. As for the rehab they are thinking he won't go over there until later this week or this coming Monday. They would like to see him get a little more alert and build some strength back up. Once he is rehab then he will be working all day trying to regain what he has lost, which we are all excited for. Yesterday he also went to the Moran Center where they checked his eyes once more, and they said his eyes look great no damage to them at all. We are hoping that once his brain heals that his eyes will be back to normal right now they jump around so much that everything is blurry. We won't know anymore on the eyes for a couple of months, we are just hoping that his eyes will calm down soon.

  5. Yes, indeed keep that good news coming. :0 Hoping the spinal tap is "clear"! I have this feeling that it will be and if not, it will be soon. Keep strong and keep fighting both of you. May God's grace/love continue to bless you and your three beautiful children. I was thinking after I wrote last night about how his recovery is nothing short of a miracle. :) I was also thinking about how 10 steps for him at this juncture would be equivalent to an Iron Man Triathalon to an untrained me and probably even more challenging. Again, Acey, you are simply AMAZING and sounds like you have put together a great "team". YOU CAN DO IT! :) Love, The B. Dotson Family

  6. Great news, hope the spinal tap is clear. Teaching Hospitals are great, I spent alot of time in one in California. Moran Eye Center is great too, that's who has been treating Tiffany's eye injury. Acey, keep working hard, I know you will get through this especially with Jalyn's and your family's support. We love you. Let us know if we can help. Keeping you in our prayers continually.

    Love, The Ballard Family
