Wednesday Update

It was about 1:00 am when we found out they were going to admit Mike. Thank you, God! They didn't have a bed for him so he spent the night in the ER. As of 7:30 this morning they still did not have a bed. They were extremely busy last night, but one of the nurses told me it is the same every night. While we were waiting to see a doc, and Mike was in a bed in the hallway, I counted 14 other beds with patients in them lined up along the hall waiting to get into the ER to see a doc. There were still 3 other rooms full of people waiting. And to think some people get mad if they have to wait 15 minutes to see their veterinarian! Geesh! Just a little perspective folks!

If you remember, Mike was admitted to Mass. Gen back in Dec. and it was not a very good experience. At that time he wasn't having seizures but was passing out, falling and hitting his head several times a week. When they discharged him they told him they didn't know what was wrong but go home, wear a helmet and stay in bed as much as possible...33 years old and they wanted him to give up! Good thing he has some fight in him...and if he didn't...Becka would smack him til he did! Anyway, back then he was not on the neurology floor so this time he requested that they not put him on any other floor. Somewhere at around 11:30 or so last night they did an MRI with and without contrast. Then the radiologist requested the neurologist come down to radiology. After they spoke awhile they did more films. Mike thinks they were looking specifically at the temporal lobe of the brain. We don't know why and we don't know if they saw something. As of 1:00 today we still do not have results... so we wait....will keep you updated as we find out more.
