Today had its ups and down. She would do great for a while, then all of a sudden become lost again.
The MRI she had done last night showed no new signs of activity so that put us on another path of diagnosis.
Now she had a neurologist check her out and he has ordered an EEG to check her brain patterns and a spinal tap to check her spinal fluid for signs. Not sure yet when they will conduct the tests (probably later tonight).
They are also going to check her ammonia levels as this tends to follow the on again/off again pattern of her thinking. Physical therapy folks are also going to try to work with her tonight to see if she can get around.
The big plan right now is for her pulmonologist, neurologist. oncologist, and attending physician to get together tomorrow and see if it would be best and safe to send her home, or stop chemo treatments and put her in hospice.
Will have to wait more to find out the game plan. The waiting game is never ending.
Thanks for all your best wishes and offers for help, but we are playing it one day at a time right now.
Love,
Ray
