    I saw on the other thread that the evaluation is tomorrow.  With it being this fast, my thoughts are that it will be the 10-15 minute MMSE or MOCA test, orders for blood work, and possibly scheduling am MRI or CT.  Unless all this has been done already?  Is so, then maybe it will just be judging his mood etc and adjusting his medication.
