Johnny Update

This picture was taken after we finished watching the finale of Big Brother and then, of course, we played 10, 9, 8, 7... and I won!

John, John, John. What are we going to do with you? John's newest adventure is that he has lost feeling in most of his right leg. He is going to go into the hospital for the next 3 days to get an IV of steroids to hopefully counteract this. The doctor still hasn't officially defined this as MS, but the symptoms are very similar.

John is still handling it well. Sometimes his problems come in handy, like when we tell him it's his turn to keep score in 10, 9, 8, 7... he says, "But I can't see!" Or if he messes up when he deals, we blame it on his blindness.

Last night he went into the kitchen looking for some pop that was on the counter, but couldn't see it. It was a little dark in there. If he had two good eyes, there wouldn't have been a problem seeing it, but since he doesn't I said, "You're gonna have to turn on the light." I tried directing him to it, but maybe his illness is affecting his sense of direction too because when I told him look left, he looked right. "You're other left!"
