After a few days it's obvious that no ones what the problem is. Dad's gone for a few tests. Problem is that he moves almost constantly. That means they were unsuccessful in getting an MRI. And unsuccessful at getting a CAT scan. They did full blood work and urine. They even did a spinal tap.
The neurologist is suggesting a series of mini strokes or TIA. But this usually lasts less than 24 hours. Perhaps a deep seated central stroke. Perhaps still some kind of infection.
Because he now can't feed himself and he has trouble swallowing, they've put him on permanent IV with no food. He controls his glucose level for diabetes by getting insulin as he can't take his oral medication.
Mom told brother that Dad's not eating. Brother says to Mom that "maybe Dad's lost his will to live". Nice. Real nice.
