7/23/07 - still in hospital

James had some upper GI testing today, because food seems to be moving through his stomach quite slowly. Doctors started giving him prophylactic Ativan orally, to see if that would prevent seizures before they started. He had three days with no seizures, during which the Ativan was held and not given to him several times.

Weighed again today - 104.7, three pounds down from last week. That probably has something to do with the surgery last week and the 24 hours without food.

Mary and I had Sunday, our 29th anniversary, pretty much to ourselves. James did great with his caregiver. Tonight James called me and begged me to replace his lost cell phone. He hasn't thought about it in a long time, so perhaps he is feeling more himself. Keep praying - he's in pretty fair condition, but no answers yet on what is causing all this or what can be done about it. B
