My Dad had a final scan this morning and review with the Neurologist. To our dismay he needs urgent surgery to relieve the pressure in his brain caused by the initial bleed. The old blood has mixed in with cerebral-spinal fluid on the one side of his brain toward the surface. A week from now Dad might have been paralyzed again and not have anyone to intervene living alone in Indiana. Needless to say it has pushed the brain to the side and is most likely behind his headaches and stumbling this weekend. We met with the surgeon right away and ran to the hospital to do paperwork and labs. He would have had the drain today but he had eaten already. Pray for God's guidance with all that the next weeks and months hold... and especially for the surgery at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow..
He had a special visit from a retired pastor that Bart's parents know. The Pastor will be keeping in touch with Dad and helping along in his spiritual journey. God has helped him through much and we trust He'll be making himself more and more real to my Dad as time passes.
Looks like Kira will have her Papa here a couple more weeks until he is in the clear. We still plan on making our trip but have a lot to get figured out quickly.
