Thanks for all the replies.
Here are the blood results:
(abnormals only b/c I am at lunch)

Glucose 198 mg/dl (80-120) *3 hour fast*
Alk Phos <3 (15-45)
The rest of the profile looks good.

Hgb 9.8 (12-18)
Hct 29.7 (43-55)
WBC 9.3 (2.5-8.0)
RBC 5.69 (6.5-11)

He has an appointment with the neurologist tomorrow.
If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them.
Thanks!
