On Wednesday, November 26th at around 10:20 in the morning Dad suffered a stroke in his left cerebral artery. Upon arriving at Memorial Hermann Katy's ER, Dad's symptoms started improving and the doctors diagnosed Dad with a TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack) which was more of a "warning sign" of an impending stroke. They decided to keep him overnight for observation and moved him to his own room. Soon afterwards, we realized that his symptoms had returned and immediately notified the nurse of this. A barrage of hospital staff began entering Dad's room and performing ultrasounds of his heart, carotid arteries and then took him down for another CT Scan. Afterwards, they decided to move Dad to the ICU so he could be more closely monitored and to see exactly what is going on. It looks like it will be a long road to recovery for Dad, but we are all optimistic that him and his hard-headed self will make a full recovery.
