Days like this aren't fun

I'm kind of at a loss on how best to phrase everything that's happening today so bear with me. Dad's not doing the best right now due to some sort of neurological issue that has flared up. Ronnie noticed dad had slurred speech last night when talking on the phone and then mom noticed it again when she called him this morning. He has very little energy right now and has had at least two episodes today where he zones out and his speech is impaired, something isn't right. He's already had a CAT scan which so far hasn't yielded anything conclusive. His vital signs are still good. The staff here at the University of Iowa Hospitals are trying to get him an MRI ran sometime this afternoon in addition to performing a battery of tests to try and diagnose this new problem. We might not have an answer tonight.

Keep the fingers crossed.
