      Thank you Annie for taking the time to read my post and sharing your story about your dad. 

      My dad has three small brain METs one on the right and two at the rear. He did not have whole brain radiation but had one radiation treatment for the right and 5 at the rear. My parents have not been exact forthcoming with details. (Good natured attempt to protect their adult children).

      My dad remains in the hospital with IV antibiotics and his steroid treatment. Thankfully after a week long drastic decline in his cognitive abilities, yesterday he mysteriously woke up and had bounced back to his near self. 

      I'm not sure if this will be long lasting but will enjoy these "good" days while they are here.
