His well being is up and down in an unpredictable pattern. We have seen and continue to see many doctors and have scheduled many tests. An MRI showed demyelination in the brain. More tests to come.<br />There are a few days when holing up in bed is indicated. On most so-so days I have started teaching Alan to accept this as the "new normal" for now as we seek answers, and to soldier on with as much of normal living as possible. Giving in to it means not having a life.<br /><br />My remarks about the buying of the TV were to Marti, not Mari.
