I'm not sure if this is the best way to disseminate information
about Soren, but Velma asked me to post this clarification on
exactly the sort of stroke he had:
It was a left basal ganglia infarction, not right. This
clarification comes via Dr. Karen Sobel, who is my niece and who
was good enough to call Soren's primary attending and talk to him
for about 20 minutes yesterday, after which she talked to me.
I'm sure that Velma will be along later with a progress report, but
Dr. Karen also said that swelling of the brain generally peaks
within 3-5 days; so it should start to go down (most likely has
already) and when I was there earlier, he was alert and trying to
form words.
Keep those good thoughts and support coming, for both Scraps and
for Velma.
