Hi everyone, as I've haven't been around for three weeks, there was a reason for it, as most of you know how close I am to my dad, just three weeks ago in Reno, NV my dad had a stroke which had hit all of us extreme hard, He had blood clots traveled in his left side of his brain, on one side of his body he cannot move at all, he can't speak, he doesn't understand questions being asked, and difficulty swallowing. During his stay at the hospital in ICU his lung were build up with fluid which caused his fever to go up so high and his breathing went out of control, they put him on a breathing machine, his heart rate went up to 195 and they had to drain the build up fluid out of his lungs

His heart is pretty bad, it was not pumping normal as it is supposed to. The only good news is that my dad does not have any brain damage.

But out of everything else, It was a horrible to watch my dad go through this, his frustration. I've been visiting him back and forth after work every day. I'm having a real hard time dealing with the fact that there a possibility that my dad will never walk or talk again as the doctor had said. But, we are going to try to prove the doctor wrong, we are keeping in faith that he's strong and he will fight through this whole mess.

He just flew home by a small jet plane Friday with a doctor and a nurse from Reno, NV to Cleveland, Ohio, which he is currently at a hospital to receive proper therapy. Last time I saw him was early today, and he has a hole in his throat to talk, but it was hard to understand him because there are times he was mumbling.

Please keep my dad in your prayers and wishing him a speedy recovering. Your support will be fully and greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance. :)

I am sorry that you have to go through with your father having his stroke. I do hope and pray that he will recover from his stroke. Whenever you are at work or at your father's place, make sure you take care of yourself and not get sick worrying over your father too much. I do hope he is going to be a strong survivor beating this stroke. :( :hug:

We are all trying to remain positive as possible. I'm so glad your wife made it through a speedy recovery.

I've met a stroke survivor in Reno who knew my dad and us, he only experienced minor problem such as his inability to speak, he wasn't even paralyzed on one side like my dad, every stroke is different from person to person as I was told by my dad's doctor. My dad had a large stroke, which cause him paralyzed on one side, and he is now seeing a therapist who is working with him on sitting, holding objects, and grabbing objects to give it to a person and speaking. So far he had sit for a period of 4 hours, but with grabbing objects he wasn't doing so good on that part, cuz the therapist asked him which one was a cup?, and he picked up a flash light instead of a cup. :( I was told he couldn't see good in one eye either. It's gonna be a long haul. It has been very hard on all of us, but we all are trying to remain positive for our dad's sake.

Thank you all for the prayers and supports. :grouphug:
