Mark was completely unresponsive to me today, but his nurse Frank said he followed commands earlier. His fever is only at 101.4, not nearly what it had been recently. Frank told me that his doctors were discussing going ahead with the shunt tomorrow since they don't think he has an infection. His cultures will probably come back by tomorrow morning, but his white count was normal, if they were elevated it would have shown an infection relatively soon.

I have an appointment to check out Bryn Mawr Rehab Center tomorrow and speak to Janet Belitsky, Ph.D., a neurophychologist. I've talked to her a few times and she has always been very encouraging.

I bought a white board at Staples today, hopefully Mark will be able to write me another note someday soon.
