Numerous tests today...

Dad had a battery of tests and procedures, relatively speaking when compared to the last 5 weeks.
1. Trans thoracic echogram
2. MRI
3. PEG

They were going to do a TEE but decided to do the trans thoracic instead. Good that they got the PEG done. Dad can get food again. IT's been over a week on only saline and sugar. Well done was the MRI - finally.

The hospital called and wanted to discuss the results. They left a message on Mom's answering machine requesting to meet tomorrow morning. They also wanted to talk about the brain biopsy as the last test. Once all tests are completed then Dad goes back to the first hospital. They definately believe he had multiple strokes due to the numerous infarcts seen on the CAT scan.

Brother got all in a huff about the meeting as he wouldn't be able to make it. Mom said told him to call the hospital as he wanted them to have the meeting next Tuesday. I thinh they want the bed back for other patients once Dad is done there.
