Hospital visit

Michael had a visit to the hospital and overnight stay to receive a treatment for his NMDA diagnosis. It is a form of chemo designed to tell the body to stop producing antibodies that are maybe interfering with his recovery. We are hopeful the treatment will be effective, but the earliest we will know anything is a couple of weeks or so. There are no guarantees, but the doctor and we have a pact not to leave anything off the table when it comes to his treatment. We are hopeful. I am not sure what to expect, but we just hope to see progress.

Other than that, Michael is progressing, but the gap is still huge between now and being able to come home. He is conversive and healthy, but has practically no ability to put names to objects and remember stuff. One thing approaching normal is that the girl patients at the rehab like Michael. They come by and ask for hugs and vie for his attention. He is mostly oblivious, but when they get his attention he will show some compassion.

Rosi and I miss everyone and hope you are all doing well. We are doing what we need to do for Michael, and right now that is what matters. We will catch up later.
