They say its darkest right before the dawn, lets hope thats true. The MRI yesterday revealed five "spots of interest" on dad's brain. It's not known at this point if these are lesions caused by decreased blood/oxygen flow or if they are caused by the infection. Doctors took spinal fluid yesterday to culture it to rule out the infection. Until they know what is going on with his brain, they can't give any anti-clotting agents for fear of what it might do.
In addition to that, he has developed a clot in his right arm now so we're quickly aproaching a point where something needs to give. And if that weren't enough, dad will be getting another echocardiogram today because they want to check to make sure he doesn't have a hole in his heart, which can apparently reveal itself in the form of the brain lesions he is showing.
Peace,
