9am - Time for the MRI to get a clearer picture of what is going on with the inflammation in his brain. We have to wait until Tuesday the 29th for his spinal tap results due to the holiday weekend. This will confirm 100% that it is encephalitis. Throughout the day Brian is mostly sleeping as he is extremely tired and complains only of a headache. He still has no memory of anything and believes he just got to the hospital. Everything he eats is the worst food ever and apple juice and diet coke seem to be the only drinks he will drink.

Visitor's today: Becca, Taylor, and Matt, Phil (Brian's good friend), Sharon, and Brandon

The doctors are still keeping the IV's going to keep him hydrated as he won't eat. They have said he will be in the hospital for a week and then moved to a full time care location for three weeks to continue the antibiotics.

We are continuing to pray for full recovery and for each day to be better than the last!
