He's going home this afternoon! MRI scheduled for tomorrow. Didn't get a chance to ask about other tests yesterday (or if I could share more information), because he was chatting with the doctor about discharge papers and such. Nola had stepped out to bring some things to the car. He sounds tired and happy to be leaving the hospital.

::whew::

UPDATE: In honor of Terry's smartypants recognition of his symptoms and quick medical care, I thought it might be useful to post some things we can watch out for with each other. This bit was taken from Web MD, but there are lots of sources out there.

Stroke Symptoms

If you have symptoms of a stroke, seek emergency medical care. General symptoms of a stroke include sudden onset of:

* Numbness, weakness, or paralysis of the face, arm, or leg, typically on one side of the body.
* Vision problems in one or both eyes, such as dimness, blurring, double vision, or loss of vision.
* Confusion, trouble speaking or understanding.
* Trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination.
* Severe headache.

Be well, everyone.

Yes. I'm so very glad he was alert to the symptoms. Probably worth looking that up to post here...

Thanx for posting. Not having long distance is beginning to be a big, giant pain in the ass.

my favorite children's book is i'll love you forever which i can never read all the way through without busting into tears once he becomes an adult and crawls into his mom's window and rocks her like she used to rock him. that was just too sweet.
