A few setbacks today

I'm relaying information from 19 time zones away, so I have limited information.  

Dad is getting a lot more confused and is really having a hard time even figuring out how to recline the seat in the car on the way to the doctor's office.  This morning he appeared to have a seizure, but after seeing the neurologist, they think it may just be the hot shower with some low blood pressure that caused a seizure-like few moments for him.  

The doctors are stumped right now on what's going on.  A few new symptoms have come to light, so they are doing a repeat MRI scan later this week (we're trying for sooner than Friday) and an EEG mid-week to determine if there has been any change to the tumor.  

I'm working on getting Dad back to Mayo's Clinic in Rochester next week if at all possible since we're not figuring this out, but Mom wants to wait for the MRI results to come in before making the trip up there.

I'll be heading home this weekend from Portland (after traveling in from New Zealand) and going to stick around there for a while.  Keep the positive thoughts flowing.  Dad isn't really checking email or on the phone right now, but I'm checking mail and I'll be keeping the blog up to date when I can.
