Just a quick update for everyone................according to mom, dad has maybe made some slight improvements today. His speech is still slurred, but when he was awake he appeared more alert. He ended up sleeping most of the day though. I'm sure the cough syrup (with codeine) is playing a role in that. His MRI from last night came back negative and some other tests have also come back negative, so at this point it wouldn't appear to be anything more than how his body is reacting to the methatrexate. The doctors will continue to monitor and see what happens. They have told mom that they wouldn't expect any benefits from the cough syrup therapy for at least 24 hours, so as the world turns in cancer treatment, we sit and wait, and wonder. Please keep him and mom in your prayers tonight. Clearly we're in a "down" phase this week.
Much love to you all...........
