So yesterday.. was it only yesterday?
The hospital moved Dad over to rehab. Really looking forward to getting his strength back and coming home.
This morning I went to visit him in his new temporary residence, and when I got there there was a couple nurses in the room.
I immediatly noticed something wasn't right.
He was slurring real bad and his breakfast was dribbling out the right side of his mouth.
Dad had a stroke this morning. Somewhere between when they served him breakfast at 8am and when I got there at 9am.
So the ambulance came and brought him back to the hospital. I been there all day and just got home about an hour ago.
They don't know where the clot came from. They been doing cat scans and ultrasounds and medications all day.
Sometimes he talks good and I can understand every word, and about an hour later he loses all motor skills on the right side and his speach is real bad.
I haven't really had time to digest all that's happened today, and so suddenly.
I left the hospital tonight, he is in ICU. He looked better than he did this morning.
I'm praying I don't get any phone calls in the middle of the night, or if I do, it's them telling me Jesus took him home.
I'll be heading back tomorrow morning.
When we left rehab I grabbed up all his belongings. When I got to the hospital I realized I didn't have his dentures.
So I tried to call them on dad's cellphone but the batteries were dead. I used the hospital phone and they said they would have them ready for me to pick up.
So around noon I decided it was a good time to go, they were taking dad for tests and that would take about an hour.
When I got to the car it wouldn't start. So I walked back in and asked if I could get a jump start. It only took a minute and the car was up and running.
I think it was the cold weather it was only 12 degrees today.
So I got his teeth and he looked good when I got back and relieved that he would be able to chew his food whenever they say he can eat.
When it rains it pours.
I just pray there is a break in the storm today.
It's been a really long day.
Please pray for dad. Either he gets better and comes home, or the Lord brings him home.
I just don't want no more trauma, no more pain.
But he's stubborn as a mule, lol
Thank You
Much Love
Hugs
