Update on my Dad. . .

The Dr. came in tonight with the results from the MRI. My dad has suffered a large stroke on the left side of his brain. The Dr. thinks it happened within the last two weeks.

Tomorrow, more tests will be done to determine how severe the damage is. (Hopefully, I get all of this info right...it all sounds foreign to me) My dad is having an ultrasound on his neck to check for bleeding and/or clots. He is also having a cath ran from his thigh to his brain to look for inflammation, bleeding, or clots. His heart is being monitored and will have an ecocardiogram.

The results from these tests will help determine what route we will have to go on in the recovery process.

Please continue to pray for my dad and especially my mom. I know how hard this has been on me but I can only imagine how difficult it must be for her. Thank you for all your prayers.

PRAYER REQUEST. . .

Please keep my family in your prayers today. My dad was admitted to the hospital last night. I don't really know much right now other than the drs believe he has suffered several mini strokes which may have caused him to have early stages of dementia(sp?). The neurologist is supposed to meet with him this morning. We should know more after that. It has been a rough night for our family. So please prayer for us today.

Only from a 4 year old. . .

This may only be funny to me but I thought I would share and I wanted to remember this.
Tonight on the way home from cheerleading this is the converstation Brynn and I had. . .

Brynn : I have to go potty really bad.

Me: Ok, we will be home in just a minute.

Brynn: I will hold it...

To herself: Think about unicorns...Think about unicorns.
