He had a brief spell of numbness in his arm today. He and is Mom are going to call the doctors to see if anything needs to be done.

No changes today. He still feels great.

He went to Galveston today about an hour or so drive one-way. There were no problems with riding in the car, walking quite a bit, or anything else. Compared to what he has done lately, it was a good day of activity, and it wasn't a challenge for him. He was chatty and lively all day.

Thanks for your prayers!

His platelet count is back up into the normal range. It is still lower than it has normally been, but it is in the low end of normal now. So getting him off the Pepcid seems to have done the trick. It will probably not get back up to full-normal until he can ramp down on the Keppra medication.

It was a bit worrisome when his count was below normal because he could have had bleeding at the biopsy site if the count wasn't high enough to cause clotting.

He is acting fine and feeling good.

MRI results show no change yet. That is good for two reasons (1) the tumor hasn't grown anymore and (2) this is what they expect to see this soon after the treatment. Blood work results for his platelet count will be later today. He is back at the trailer and hungry for lunch.

He went to worship and bible class this morning without any problems at all. I think he wants to take a trip to Galveston this week if he is cleared to go at his appointment Monday.

Blood tests show his blood platelets still being on the low side. His anti-seizure medicine is the likely cause since they recently had to crank it up pretty high. If the count gets too low, there is medication to handle it. He still acts and feels normal otherwise.

In case you were curious, he didn't loose much hair this time. They just shaved a small area about as big as a deck of playing cards. The procedure was done on the same line as his first incision and near the back of his head, so it won't cause any additional scarring.

He likes to sleep propped up because it is more comfortable for his head (less blood pressure in the healing area).
