More Tests

This morning Justin had an ultrasound on his thyroid, plus another biopsy on the thyroid, this time in the front (yesterday they took it from the side). When he returned, he was very quiet. I know he is a tough guy and doing well, but I think after this many tests, he is just weary. After a shower to wash off all the junk left over from the EEG and other tests, he will probably feel better. They unhooked him from the heart monitors and took off all of the connectors hooked to his chest. Now he only has an IV line in each hand, which will stay in until he is discharged to go home. He is off the IV meds. This is good news. Now all of the meds he is on are in the pill form and he can get out of bed when he wants to. They are still working on getting his medicine levels correct, but he sure feels a lot more free than even a few hours ago. As I was writing this, the physical therapist came to take him for a walk to see if his coordination is OK. Until now, they have kept him close to his bed to make sure he wasn't having seizures anymore. He's back and got a good report.
