Day 41 July 16, 2009

Thursday-The night was ok and without the medicine that calms him. We did take Benadryl at one point. The MRI was successful. One side of his brain is better and the other side is not. I have not spoken to neurology myself or the radiologist but I am told it is a good sign. He is still on the anti -viral but the virus is not detected in his blood. I spoke with the psychiatrist because as a teacher, I notice every behavior and when it occurs. When Casey and Nicole were here, he started with the scratching and lip biting. While waiting for the MRI, he was so anxious and sat every way he could in the wheelchair. I am concerned about his 'flat' personality. I can get him to play cards and he will smile for me, but he does not light up for anything. We are giving him some zoloft for depression now. That will take a week to get into his system. So maybe that will help him.
