An Update as of 9/7/12 AM

I (Megan) am so blessed by Bryn’s tenaciousness and smarts! She has emailed four top neurologists with expertise in this kind of problem. Last night and this morning, they emailed back suggestions of what to do next. She compiled it all in a document and was trying to set up a conference call later today. When she called the office of the Riverside Neurology team, she got the run around. The office staff would not let her send the email or talk to the doctors. So she up and got in the car to drive over to their offices! She is really her father’s daughter and it is paying off! She is there now. We are waiting to see what conclusions they draw. Apparently, the experts think we need to move immediately to aggressively shutting down his immune system. Then we will have to be very careful to protect him from infection.

Just now he is resting quietly on the vent. The nurse has suggested that we keep the room very quiet and don’t talk to him or stroke him. They just want him to get some rest.

Keep praying for a productive collaboration between all of the doctors interested in his case.

Megan
