The neurologist ordered another MRI to take a more detailed look at Jan's brain. A heart attack had already been ruled out last week, and now consensus is that he didn't have a stroke either, but they wanted to make sure. Jan did have pneumonia, which was treated and has cleared up.
The doctor says the MRI showed that Jan had/has an infection in his brain as a result of the Hand, Foot and Mouth disease, which this all started with five weeks ago. He said Jan will improve over time, and should eventually get back to normal. He is transferring Jan to the Stroke Rehab Clinic in another hospital, and he will be moved as soon as a bed becomes available. We have no idea how long he will be there. But it all sounds very hopeful.
In the meantime, Mikey and Tanya continue to come every other day, and yesterday we went for a short drive over to the Townline to see the scillas.....

The scent, carried on the wind, was amazing....
It lifted my spirits to see them, but at the same time I wonder if there will be any doll photos taken there this year. I'll see if I get up the courage to do it with Mikey and Tanya. I think they would be the ones I'd feel least uncomfortable with taking doll photos.
Then a bit further up the road we walked along the edge of the maple woods, where the first flowers of spring were popping up through the leaves....

And back at home, my one week old Anniversary roses are starting to fade....
I'm feeling pretty good so far today, and actually managed some doll photos in the dining room castle this morning. I'm hoping with the good news about Jan, I will get some inspiration back.
He may still be gone for a little while, but at least there's hope he will fully recover.
*Edited to add - I just heard that he's being moved today!
