A Steve update

Nov 16, 2008 22:18

Now that I can actually breath, here the low down on Steve's condition.

Last Sunday he started to have a headache and slight blurry spots in both eyes.  He tried to touch it out. Wednesday after a horrible headache and worse blurry spots we went to the ER

They took a CAT scan and told us he had had a mild stroke. He was transferred via ambulance to San Antonino Hospital in Upland. After days of tests they said that it wasn't a stroke it was either a abscess in his brain or a tumor.

We got to worry on that for another two nights until surgery, which would tell us which one it was.

Turned out it is an abscess, good news, but not the end of the problem

We are now in the Intensive Care Unit, with a 24 hour watch.  They think there might be more swelling around the abcess and there is a high risk of infection.

Not to mention the fact that all the medication they are giving him has raised his blood sugar so much, that he is now  a diabetic

I will update more as soon as I know
