This definitely isn't a happy posting. On Sunday the 16th, my dad had emergency brain surgery due to a brain bleed. The surgeon removed a large tumor from the left side of his frontal lobe. He is currently "asleep;" however, he can move his left arm, his left leg and he has opened his eyes a few times. This morning they removed the breathing tubes and he is breathing well on his own. This morning, he opened his eyes and said, "Hi, Love" to me. It was great to hear his voice, if just for a moment! The nurse wanted to see if he could swallow so she gave him an ice chip. He was able to chew it and we think he swallowed. It's amazing what you think is a great step forward when we weren't sure he'd ever open his eyes again! I will post updates as I get them. It is a very slow process because we are just waiting for him to completely wake up, which seems to be taking forever. We will know more as the days go by. We REALLY appreciate all your prayers. They are working!
Amanda, I'm so sorry! I have been there before with my mom. It all sounds very similar and familiar and I know it's not easy. It sounds like the he's doing well all things considered. We'll keeps him in our prayers. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.
Amanda ~ Thank you for sharing this so we know how to be praying. What a blessing that he opened his eyes...hopefully it will be a continual recovery from here. We will be praying.
Amanda...I talked to Kim today and my heart just dropped as she was telling me what was going on. What a blessing it is that you can be with your dad at this time. I hope he continues getting better and just know that we are thinking of you and praying for you all. Love you...xoxo
