Today,Stan seems in better shape than yesterday. The confusion is slowly going away,he is more alert and awake for longer periods of time. The biopsy did show that he has graft versus host disease of the esophagus and digestive tract,but he is already on the steroids,so it is being treated--he is eating and has not been nauseous for 2 days now--a good sign.The Drs feel that part of his confusion was from the meds and part was from the encephalitis and part was that he took a longer time to recover from the sedation when he had the biopsy.(since he is clearly doing better,they have canceled the MRI which would have required sedation again).It would be great for him to be released by Tuesday--we will wait and see!!!

Glad Stan is feeling a little better. Hopefully this will continue in the right direction. Just wanted to let you know that we prayed for you in church this morning. Give a hug to the big guy.
