AN ANSWER!!!

We are so excited that the doctors have figured out what has happened.... and there is a cure! my dad had a sinus infection about a month ago and was on a sulfa drug.. as you see on the website below, that could have been the cause of it as well as the overall sinus infection.

the diagnosis is acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. the website describes it all!

Dad is so much better today! he's laughing and talking so much more. Some thoughts are hard still, but it's like night and day.

They will start him on steroids today and could be a few days or weeks, but the doctors seem to think he'll be back to normal in no time. We're so thankful and are just keeping our fingers crossed!
