Jul 23: Checkup at PCP

I scheduled today's doctor appointment last week when Weslee had another episode of severe abdominal pain. Glad I did, because I also wanted him to check out W's back from last night's fall after seizure number ... 3 (?). [Just a scratch .. plus maybe some bone bruising .. keeping an eye on it.]

His BMI looks good for now .. but .. less than a year ago, W weighed 188. A bit chunky but not nearly as bad as me. Today ... 149 pounds!!! A massive drop of 40 pounds. Why? He just doesn't feel like eating. 

He left a pint of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream sit in the freezer for over 4 days before eating. If you know him at all...that is nearly impossible. His longest stretch of saying no to ice cream prior to that was maybe 48 hours.

When I cook, I try to make his favorites. Sometimes he will even turn those down.

Weslee even said no to carrots, strawberry/banana juice, and pasta alfredo!

The PCP asked all kinds of questions to try to ascertain if he is depressed. Nope, not that.

The weight loss is just one more thing to watch. 

He has also developed headaches. The seizures are mutating...half the time I can't figure out what kind they are. And the sudden fits of anger and tantrumy behavior is overwhelming.

Weslee needs more brain surgeries for his seizures.  To help, please like, follow and share .. PLUS .. please go to his Medical GoFundMe or to our Paypal ... Thank you.
