April 6th 1:00pm

Just wanted to clarify something I had posted the time before. I had mentioned that the Doctors weren't sure what Acey had, I meant to say they aren't sure how to treat him or what the recovery time will be. Acey had been tested positive for Chlamydia Pneumonia, this comes from a cows placenta which can be transferred by breathing it in. Usually this will attack the lungs first then travels to the brain, but in Acey's case in skipped the lungs and went straight to the brain. This is rare so that is why they are so unsure about recovery time. So much has been going on here in the past few days. Acey's left side is getting worse then before, he can't feel hand or foot. It's hard for him to find it in space so they have him first find his shoulder then follow it down his arm to find his hand. His speech is getting worse also, it's harder for him to swallow, so he is not getting all the nutrients that he needs, so we just came back from getting another feeding tube in. All of these changes have the Doctors concern so we are hopping to bump up the spinal tap today sometime. This will show us where the infection is, if it's getting worse or staying the same? We should have those results within 2 hours after the procedure. So many things happening so fast it's hard to keep up with it all. He is still in good spirits but is missing home and the kids. Keep the prayer coming!!!!!!!

  7. Jalyn and Ace Amy Gray sent this to me on facebook and I thought this was the best way to pass on to you. Hi, I know a Dr. at the University of Utah that does QEEG (Neurofeedback) which is excellent for any sort of issues going on in the brain, especially when a regular cat scan doesn't show much compared to this.. It might be something that could help Acey out. His name is Dr. Corydon Hammond. We have seen him and the help he has provided has been beyond anyone we have ever seen. The bonus is, any treatment that he finds to be needed there is a Dr. in Twin that we have been seeing that works with Dr. Hammond on a regular basis. If you could pass this info on to them I would appreciate it... It could be of some help! I don't get on facebook much so if they have any questions email or cell is the best... thanks jbscooter26@live.com
