We'll still trying to chase down why Tim is temporally and spatially challenged. The doctors say that physically all his tests are showing normal. They believe that Tim's confusion must be a reaction to one of his medications. Unfortunately, that's a really long list to sort through. Just to rule out anything physical, Tim has had a blood test, a spinal fluid test and a brain MRI. All those results aren't in yet, but the doctors expect them all to be negative. Not sure what the next step is, but they're working on it.
If Tim should happen to call you at unreasonable hours, tell him to call his wife. Then I can call his nurse to get him settled down. If he should call or email you at reasonable hours, don't try to make sense of anything he says. Just agree and check with me if you want the real story. He thinks he's been moved to any number of hospital rooms on different floors in different buildings. This is not true, but it is impossible to convince him otherwise. The social work says not to even try to set him straight.

Tim and Jennifer - Our family is praying for you both every day. My mom works at the Franciscan Place, and has put Tim on the prayer request board. I read the blog every day and will keep hoping for the very best. Know that you are thought of often in Syracuse! Ann and Pat Ward, Mary and Billy Olson
