FYI: mom has been admitted to brookwood medical. Running tests and consulting neuro. Hoping she only has to stay until tomorrow but for answers. Her symptoms have progressed tremendously (had to get a wheelchair today) and could not get help from drs in Tusc today.

Mom will be staying another night at the hospital. No real news at this point. Were able to finally get the MRI head done today. Jerking was so bad yesterday they could not get it even after 3 injections of Ativan. They started her on a new drug which has her knocked out right now so that along with an injection of Ativan they were able to get the MRI. No results yet though.

They discharged mom last night around 8 (actually it was around 10:30pm). Dr said there was nothing else he could do. So sad and so unbelievable. We were hoping for some relief for her until she sees the mayo neuro in March but looks like that's not going to happen. She can't tolerate the new drug they tried. She's been seen by 9 neurologists in the last 8 months. Looks like someone could do something. Please pray for some relief for her symptoms. Please pray she will start eating again (she's lost 18 pounds in 6 weeks) so she will have the strength she needs. Please pray for her to regain hope and faith that she will get the help she needs and eventually get better.
