Update - Day 4 after 3rd injection

I spoke to dad today during the drive home. He was excited to report that approximately 30 minutes prior to calling me, he asked mom if she was ok, or if she needed anything. (He said he was being careful not to prompt her because he thought some issues she had may be caused by him bringing up certain subjects.) After asking if she was ok, she looked at him and said "I need to go to the bathroom." Upon hearing this, I just wanted to run around screaming "WOO HOO", but tried to restrain myself on the phone. Dad sounded as excited as I was and said she had not given that type of verbal response/communication in such a long time that we could not even remember the last time we had heard it. She heard his question, understood it, and was able to verbalize her response to him.

Dad also said that while he is seeing many great improvements in two or three areas, in a couple of other areas, he has seen a regression from where she was after the first shot. One example he gave is that she does not stay with him as well as she did the first 5 days after the first shot, and when they are walking he now must hold her hand. We do not know if this is because the Doctor is varying her dosage to find the appropriate amount/schedule for her. We are hopeful that when the Doctors find the correct dosing schedule for mom, that there will be fewer ups and downs.

Once dad is back in Baton Rouge, he will be forwarding videos and additional information for us to continue to update on the blog. Communication will be much easier now, so the information will hopefully flow more quickly again. For now, we are celebrating!
