11am Saturday: We are back home. Carson did great last night. He was on an IV for 2+ days, got some great rest and sleep, and has his appetite back.
The way Carson acted was the same as to someone having a stroke, BUT it was NOT a stroke. The MRI of his brain was negative, nothing, nada!!! It was very scary for Deb and I to witness. The coolest think is that they gave Carson a recorded CD of the MRI to take home to show his buddies. How cool to have pictures of your brain.
Carson is now off to Papa’s house to fix a speed boat that broke.
We are all fine.
Talk to Debbie about Monday and Tuesday, we will need some help with carpools, Abby and the house. Carson (and Debbie) will be at the hospital for 4 days (his next treatment begins) and I will in NY for business (returning Tuesday night).

6pm Friday: Carson had a MRI on his brain today and after 4 hours of waiting, the results are negative. His symptoms are related to his meds. It was scary. He lost his speech, movement of his hands and became dizzy. The doctors indicated that after taken a certain med, 9-11 days later, you can have these side affects. It is rare, but happens to some.
Carson is spending another night at the hospital, and if he does not experience any more side affects, he will come home Saturday morning.

11am: We had to take Carson to the ER last night. He was experiencing some side affects that were strange. We got to the ER at 7pm. They did a CT scan and ran some tests. Carson was then admitted to the hopistal. I got home around midnight and got to sleep at 1:30am. Thanks to my buddy for being there for me and us.
Carson is feeling good today. We are about to do an MRI.
