We are now waiting for the results to determine what is causing the new mass in her right temporal lobe. This mass showed up on today's MRI and wasn't there on February 13.
The most likely culprit will be viral encephalitis. All 4 doctors who visited today believe this will be what the ultimate tests show. As a precaution, they will start her on anti viral and anti seizure meds tonight. We won't know for sure, however, what it is for 2-3 days. The other possibilities are bacterial, fungal or lymphoma.
Also she is going to be getting ablecet which is a really nasty treatment for the fungus in her lungs. It may be a long night.
Hopefully things will start to show some improvement over the weekend.
The good news is that her spirits are good and she is loving the orange popsicles!
