Beginning last Thursday, I started experiencing flu-like symptoms. I did the best I could to get myself on my feet again io until last night (Sunday) but ended up going to Sutter Roseville Medical Center and was admitted. After being unable to ingest oral meds, let alone the limited food and fluid intake, this was the right call. Among other concerns I had was my inability to keep down oral anti-convulsants and the risk of seizures.
I was finally in a room at midnight. The good news – CT scan appears stable!! I would have ordered an MRI because there are no other comparison CT scans but it gave us a sufficient look.
My aim is suppotive care here. This is likely a virus. So, hydration, get food back into my system, meds back on-boardand basically get the car running again are all part of the plan
More to come. This will come to pass. Have to solve the ptoblem

Hey Mark – well let them get you hydrated again! Remember, you’re a Mercedes, not a broken down old vw bus, right???? ha ha – hang in there. Thinking of you as always!

Mark, I am thinking of you. You are strong just a little tired. But you will be back up and running soon. I am sorry to say that we are struggling here in Baton Rouge also. Marc has a MRI next week so we will see if anything is going on. Maybe its just the LA heat and he is outside all the time. I went to a support group Caregivers meeting today and was embrassed by these 2 gospel preaching women like I have never been embrassed before. It was really crazy, possible a sign from above. I would love to talk to you or your wife sometime. Like I have said before, you inspire me and I feel a real connection to your story. Hope you are felling better soon.
