Thursday evening
Just a short note to tell you that the boys took their Dad to the Doctor's this a.m. she said that he had shingles (don't know how to spell) or another thing (which I can't remember what) in his brain...the was having regular throbbing sensations in in left side of his brain...they sent him home with instructions to watch for a breaking out of a rash on the left side of his face (which, thankfully, did not occur) and to give him a tylenol every four hours...he is very tired but much better and was quite talkive this evening before retiring....I have had a very full day and am quite weary but wanted to keep you posted on what happening...good night and God Bless....love, Mary, Mom, and Grandma.....

The other thing that Dad might have is "temporal arteritis" or "temporal arthritis" Wiki says this about it: Temporal arteritis, also called giant cell arteritis (GCA) is an inflammatory disease of blood vessels (most commonly large and medium arteries of the head). It is therefore a form of vasculitis. The name comes from the most frequently involved vessel (temporal artery which branches from the external carotid artery of the neck). The alternative name (giant cell arteritis) reflects the type of inflammatory cell that is involved."
Dr. Fuentes prescribed steroids for Dad which will help either diagnosis as we wait this weekend to see if he has more symptoms for shingles or anything else.
