Things have been busy for Ricky. He has had a number of absences from and short days at school due to dizzy spells, migraines, and fatigue. We still don't know what's going on with all of this. Migraines do explain some of the symptoms he has been having, but not all.
Ricky is getting a one-to-one aide at school because he's been having trouble adjusting to high school and its routines. He has been trying very hard in school, though, and his favorite class is 3D design.
Most recently, Ricky had some teeth pulled. He had four (adult) bicuspids that were crowding his mouth and making it so that his adult cuspids could not grow in. He had the right ones pulled several weeks ago, and last week he had the left ones pulled. The extraction on Wednesday of last week were very difficult, involving the dentist having to dig them out of his gums. Ricky got stitches and was in a lot of pain. He also developed a fever and we were scared he had some sort of infection. The dentist and pediatrician conferred and Ricky was started on Septra. By the weekend he was doing a lot better and he was back to school today, I am happy to say!
We've had some close shaves with bowel blockages lately, including an ER visit. He's back on Miralax now though and hopefully it will continue to help.
For Halloween, Ricky was a Ghostbuster. I'm not sure, but this might be the last time he trick-or-treats. I can't believe he's that old already! (He'll be 15 years old this month!)
Guess that's all the news for now. Thank you all for sending Ricky cards and letters. He still loves to get mail!
