Some of the results came out yesterday itself. The chest x-ray looks reasonably OK. The physician feels that there could be some fluid between the lungs and the chest cavity (nothing inside the lungs) but the respiratory doctor feels that that too might not be there. Its just his cough that is a little troubling but the lungs seem to be holding up fine.

The CAT scan has been viewed and reported by the radiologist. Not directly by the neurologist yet. Hopefully that gets done today. The radiologist feels that while the bleed has gone down i.e. not so much blood in the brain, the edema (inflammation inside the brain) seems to have gone up. That is not good at all. Especially since 16 days have elapsed since the stroke. Let us see what the neuroloist says and if he changes Dad's medication. Dad's current state, though is in line with increased inflammation - very drowsy through the day, inactive, not speaking much. Not good.

So dust out your Gods, guys and start praying big time.
