She's prescribed ritalin to act as a stimulant, and we should see some improvement in the next few days if that's what is going on. He was up almost three hours today with the appoinment and getting around to go, so he was exhausted this afternoon. Tonight at dinner he was more "alert" but REALLY confused and having a hard time getting across what he was trying to ask.
We finally heard from Mayo's as well - more on Monday as he was going to talk to the radiation oncologist this afternoon. The doctor had been traveling and not getting his messages (or something along those lines).
It's 7:15 and Dad is more than ready for bed. He had a good dinner, though, and cracked a huge smile when I told him it was his turn to do the dishes. I told him if he was going to be in shape by Thanksgiving, he needed to start tonight with training. :)

Mary - I want to let you know that there is someone, in addition to your family, reading and appreciating your Blog.
Butch, as he was always known to his classmates - with other less polite nicknames that he will have to tell you about, is in our thoughts and prayers.
Tell him that I will take his offer for my Denver Childrens Hospital bike ride - the Courage Classic - next summer and at least match it with a Livestrong donation. I still want to go for a ride with him - so he has to get past this thing.
