More about Dad

Hi Everyone...

It's been a long day but God is answering our prayers for wisdom and direction. Dad's doctor was in today and has confirmed that by definition, he has had a stroke. BUT it has been a mild one that has alerted us to a problem that needs to be corrected. Pending a couple of more tests, Dad will likely have surgery on his carotid artery. This probably resulted from scarring from the surgery he had eight years ago.

The good news is, 99% of the time, the surgery is completed without complication. After surgery, it's been recommended that he go to rehab for his arm/leg for 7-10 days. The therapists were very optimistic about his recovery due to how well he is doing.

Dad and I walked 3 laps around his floor today without any problem. Got Mom walking around, too! More importantly, his faith is as solid as a rock! I told him tonight if I can be like him someday that would be the greatest thing in the world. He is soooo okay with whatever comes his way. He has a faith in God like none other that I've known. It gives ME peace just to witness his life.

God is answering our prayers for direction. We're also praying for Mom's peace and of course, Dad's complete healing. We also give thanks for you - all of our wonderful friends and family.

Good night, friends. We are comforted by your thoughts and prayers. -- Audi
