It takes a lot of time to write these posts with detail. As soon as I have the time, I’ll write the details of what happened when we went to urgent care then on to the hospital.
In the mean time, here’s what we know at this point (which isn't a whole heck of a lot):
Mike had a CT scan on Wednesday that indicated he has a brain tumor that measures 4.5 centimeters by 4.7 centimeters. He had an MRI done on Thursday and it confirmed the findings of the CT scan.
When we went to the doctor, his brain was swelling, and that is what caused his odd behaviors.
He has been in the hospital since Wednesday night and has been taking steroids to reduce the swelling.
Once the swelling is down, he will have a biopsy to determine exactly what kind of tumor he has and our options for treating it. He will have an MRI on Tuesday to check on the swelling and a biopsy is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday. It will take four to five days to get the results from the biopsy.
