Taking care of my son Lorenzo

Art and I hope all of you have had a wonderful holiday season. Ours was great as we spent time with our families. The new year is here and we hope it will bring you peace and prosperity in all you do. Kelly the Kat has not been blogging lately because I've been taking care of my son Lorenzo. Over the New Years Eve weekend, Lorenzo had a terrible fall off a flight of stairs. He had been unconscious from 1am til 9am when he finally got woken up by two men who had lived in the apartment complex where he landed on their front steps. When he called us in the morning, he sounded so scared not sure where he was and he was only able to make out the 2 street names by the house where he was at. It was so, so scary because we couldn't find him for about 2 hours. It was the longest two hours in our lives. His cell phone was losing battery and he didn't want to lose us. I told him to ask the men who helped him inside their house to use their phone so he did. Finally we found him and he looked so distraught, cuts and scratches all over his upper body and one heck of a headache. We stopped to get a bite to eat but Lorenzo said he felt so dizzy and sick to his stomach so he went to throw up. He tried to eat and drink something but he said he had no taste buds or smells. On the drive home he complained about his head hurting really bad and that's when I noticed the big lump in the back. Putting all the symptoms together something just told me to call Kaiser. Sure enough they told me to get him to emergency right away and that's what we did. Lorenzo ended up having a concussion along with Anosmia http://www.sinuswars.com/lossoftasteandsmell.asp
Now he has muffled hearing but he is taking it all in stride and trying to be positive. The doctor said he may recover within a month to a year. We are praying for the best for our son and we hope he stays positive in his journey to recovery. Dad and Mom and family will surely be their for him. Thanks for reading and be kool in all you do cuz the Kool Katz Love Yah!!!
