Well Dave's back home from the hospital.  We ended up in the hospital with him again on Friday, May 27th,  after leaving Legoland.  We were out to lunch and he wrote down on a napkin that his mouth was numb and he could not speak.  I immediately panicked and wanted to take him to the hospital.  Luckily, where we were in Mission Viejo, where they had a hospital across the street.    By the time we got there,  Dave couldn't really speak (but could walk and everything)but he was trying to tell me his right arm was going numb.  Again, I am panicking more. They ran a bunch of tests and after a couple hours, his feeling in his arm and speech came back (it was crazy). Since the hospital was not a Kaiser, the Dr.s (who were great there) phoned KP and suggested he be seen in the Kaiser ER.  So Dave was transported to Kaiser Irvine Friday late.  He was there for 4 days.  Several more tests including MRI's,  CT's,  Blood work,  EEG, EKG,  Lumbar puncture, and Chest X-ray were done.  He was seen by a fresh new set of eyes.  While they still have not found what exactly is the cause of the aseptic meningitis, it was nice to see much more professional and helpful Dr.s  The facility was nicer and much better.  They up'd his anti-seizure medication and it seems to being doing it job so far.  He's still really tired,  and has head and neck pain, but he says he is feeling better.  I am glad to have him home and hoping they get these cultures back soon with some answers to all this.  He is off work for a few weeks until he's all better.

I took the 3 kids (along with some friends) to the Huntington Library/ Botanical Gardens yesterday for the FREE day.  They had a great time.  It gave Dave some time to take care of work related stuff and some time to rest.
