My brother went to the doctor today for tests. His hand has been shaking uncontrolably for a while now, and so the doctor finally sent him to the hospital to be checked out.
The good news is that he does not have ALS ..... which was our family's worst fear. The bad news is that he shows possible signs of Parkinson's. He is going to have to go to Cleveland fro further evaluation.
Please say a prayer for my brother, if you are the praying kind. I believe it can work miracles.

Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Even if you don't believe it can work miracles, it certainly can't hurt. Prayers up, boss.

Hopefully the evaluation will determine it is not serious and can be treated and cured.

Prayers your way Ytown. Also, hopefully it makes you feel better to know that by being so close to Cleveland, he’ll have access to some of the best medical care in the world.

Thanks everyone.
The only thing about Cleveland having good facilities is that I am in Youngstown. lol
I have to take him to a place in Willoughby .... and that's about 90 minutes each way. That's OK though.

You got em YTown. I pray(a rosary) at bedtime every night before I hit the hay.
Rest assured your brother will be "Top Of Mind" tonight.
Where/what type of facility, etc, etc are you taking him to?

I really am not 100% sure. All I know is that it's in Willoughby.

Prayers are on the way buddy. That place is easy to get to. Should be about 80 minutes from your house.

Prayers for your brother. Like GM said it is a fairly easy drive, about 75 to 80 minutes unless you drive like me on the turnpike. Watch out for cops between Mayfield and Route 91. I see them there a lot

JUst got back from the hospital, and it is definitely Parkinson's. Fortunately, it is late onset. (my brother is 56) The doctor said that is generally not as bad as early onset. The doc prescribed some medicine for my brother, so hopefully it will help slow the progression. Thank you all for the prayers, and please keep them coming.

The doctor is discussing (with my brother) installing some sort of device in his brain. (I think that's what he said) This device would shock/stimulate the part of his brain that produces dopemine, and try to help the symptoms.
