Testing date

We promised to keep everyone up to date on what is going on so here it is: Thursday, Dec. 8 Dave is scheduled for both the MRI and the EEG.  The doctor will receive the written results for the MRI within 48 hours. It will be a little over a week before we know the results of the EEG as the doctor reads them himself.  We have an appointment scheduled for Dec. 14th so hopefully we will know what the MRI results are. 

The test are routine and used to rule out other causes for the dementia.  The doctor will be checking for any seizure type activity or symptoms, vascular problems, tumors or TIAs. (TIA is a Transient Ischemic Attack or otherwise known as mini-stroke.) Please keep Dave in your prayers.
