Sept 2nd Update on Todd

Came down to the hospital this morning to see Todd about 9 am.  He was still sleeping and had slept all night! I'm sure it still was a very drugged sleep, but at least he was sleeping.  We got him up when breakfast came, but he had a very difficult time eating as his tongue is beat up from the seizure.  He did manage to get down some scrambled eggs and oatmeal.  After breakfast he was transfered to Medical floor.  There will be a nurse by his side at all times.  He wanted to get back in bed and instantly feel alseep.  His body so needs to catch up on some sleep!    He did seem a little more alert this morning, but still very groggy.
   They did start the meds for Parkinson's this morning.  I can't say I'm convinced that this diagnosis is correct.  He does have some 'symptoms' of Parkinson, but they are also symptoms of other things too.  I keep praying for clarity and wisdom in all this for me and the doctors.
   Several people have asked if I got some sleep last night, and yes I did.  We got home from the hospital and I told Kristi lets put our pj's on and watch a movie and then go to bed.  I didn't quite make it all the way through the movie (Jungle Boook), (I missed my favorite part. LOL) I do remember Kristi getting up and turning off the TV and the lights and walking out of the room, I awoke again about 10 pm and headed to my bedroom to sleep. I was kind of afraid I wouldn't sleep again, but I did! Halleleujah!  Yes, I still feel tired, but I'm better than yesterday. :-)
    Thank you again everyone for your love and support for Todd.  Your kind remarks and prayers have been a great encouragement to me.
