Tonight's update is going to be a quick one, after a long day I'm falling asleep on my laptop.

I met with his doctors this afternoon, they seem optimistic about transferring him to Osteo Rehab early next week.

The attending physician is FINALLY putting in the official neurology consult, to have him evaluated by the HMC neuro team.  I asked two questions, which his general medicine MD is going to defer to the neuro service.  1) Can we discontinue his Keppra (antiseizure medicine) since he's had no evidence of seizure activity and his last EEG was clear.  2) At what point do we need to re-scan his head, either CT or MRI, to determine how the infectious process is clearing?  Hopefully we'll get those answers in the next day or two.

He's still very tired and spends much of the day sleeping, but did better walking today.  I think he's going to do really well with the PT in rehab.

Ok, I'm spent.  More of an update coming tomorrow!
