Dad was better today. More alert, ate properly, managed to drink through a straw. We also went out for a car ride for about an hour and a half.

The lung report looks good - his cough seems to be caused by an irritation in his throat, rather than any infection in the lung. The inflammation in the brain looks large - managed to have a look at the CAT scan - and the inflammation shows up as a mass of black squeezing the right ventricle. The doctors have increased his dosage of steroids - hopefully that has an impact quickly.

Friday evening is very very eagerly awaited.
