October 9 1:10 PM Afternoon Update

Hello,

Mom and I just got a report from a doctor. The CT scan showed that everything looked okay. He said he feels like dad is a little more dazed than he should be so they are looking at carbon dioxide levels (or something like that - they throw terms around and I have trouble keeping up sometimes) to see if that is contributing to his dazed state. He is not responding as well right now as he was yesterday or this morning, but I am not getting the vibe that it is a massive concern as of now. They are making him sit up in his bed for 2 hours because of the pneumonia that he recently had. Right now he is not able to lift his right arm. They said it is not paralyzed because he has muscle movement but they are concerned - they think maybe its just too painful to move at present time or maybe there is some swelling in his arm. He rated the pain in his arm a 7 and the pain in his head a 3, so it must really be hurting. They've ordered an X-Ray to look at his arm.

Mom and I are trying to be strong, but we seem to be fading a bit. Please say a little prayer for dad! I'll update with more later.

Love,
Cejae
