Atavan = Culprit

She was back last night.

They had been giving her an anti-anxiety drug called Atavan. Apparently my mother falls into a small percentage of people over a certain age who react badly to the drug.

They took her off of it and gave her something else and POW! My mother came back to us.

She's still very sick, and she still has a long road ahead, but what a relief!

She had a biopsy yesterday. It went well. In preparation for the expected results (which we won't see for 5-7 days) they started her on steroid treatments last night. They expect the steroids to start reducing the symptoms almost immediately.

Again, what a relief!
