We've Moved

Hello all. Late last night, on the orders of a neurosurgeon, dad was moved from his regular room in the hospital to a "step-down" room in the neuro ward of the hospital. In this new location, he gets closer monitoring by a staff that is more familiar with neurological cases. The move came about as a result of a consult by the radiation oncologist (Dr. Wu) before yesterday's radiation appointment. The radiation session never happened (equipment was down), but because Dr. Wu was made aware of the persistent pain dad was having in his head, he asked the neurosurgeon to consult. After doing and reviewing an MRI last night, the new doctor had him moved right away. We haven't met the new doctor yet, but we hope to hear more this morning about these latest develoments. I'll let you know more when I know it. Please keep praying for dad. Thanks.
