Hi Everyone,
Well some good news is that the jaw is not broken, but here is the bad news. It is a soft tissue injury and no operation will be able to fix it. He also said that the Trigemnial Neuralgia can cause me to be in this much pain too, with the added pain of the soft tissue injury. The only treatment is a treatment called the gama knife treatment, and it is a type of radiation. First we have to meet with the doctor and see if I qualify for it. We will probably get it done down here in Dallas Texas. Unfortanatly it may cause other problems because the radiation will be close to the brain. We are waiting to see if the doctor who doese it calls, and can see us this trip, if not we may need to make another trip out here. I don't want to have radiation, but I guese if it helps, it helps.
On Tueseday, my mom and I got to meet Natalie, her mom Tammy and her brother Stephen, and their Nana. Natalie is battling cancer, and she has a caringbridge site. Natalie is so full of life and a real inspiration. Natalie is four years old, and was very excited she got to meet me! I am so happy I got to meet them, they are wonderful people and I am so glad we met knew friends!
On Tueseday was my ct scan and it was a pretty rough day. When we got back to the hotel, the lady at the desk, told us that her manager Nick wanted to speak with us. Nick, came around front and he said that he saw that I was admiring the Dallas Stars Mike Modano hat, that was in their gift store, and they wanted to give it to me, and Nick and the staff signed the Stars hat! I have a whole network of Dallas Stars here! Meaning a whole support network. I met two girls that work here, Lauren and Amanda. Lauren has a sister with cp and Amanda has a brother who has autsim. They are two nice girls, and I have made some new friends! I am going to help Amanda decorate the tree at the hotel tonight! Then I met the two wonderful driver's, Johnny and JR, who drive the shuttle bus, and of course I can't forget about The wonderful Nick! I think the whole hotel staff must know me by now.
On Friday, my mom and I got tickets to see a Dallas Stars game against the Colorado Avalanche. My friend Ryan Smyth plays for him, but I will be cheering for my hero Mike Madano and his Stars!
We are also hopping to check out the Science Centre, Mueseum and Planaterium, tommorrow hopefully.
