Dad update!

He's been moved to a rehab center near his house, and is making great progress. We still don't know what happened - two MRIs, a CAT scan and a spinal tap have turned up nothing - and we're waiting on one blood test to come back from California. They've ruled out a stroke, though, which is excellent news.

He does seem to have developed what sounds to me like Periodic Limb Movement Disorder (which I also have). I'm researching some of his symptoms.

Y'all are seriously the best! My thanks to all of you!

Thanks for the update!

Great to hear about the progress; hope they nail down the cause soon. We should have split our prayers into an Improvent Faction and a Cause Discovery Group.

Praise God for his work in your father, as well as you and your brother. You will never regret one single kindness or one moment of time you spend helping anyone---especially a family memeber--- in their time of need. God bless you for your faithfulness in helping your dad. This can be a tremendous growth experience for all of you even though it doesn't seem that way at the time. May God continue to bring healing to your father and restore him physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

It is sounding like he went through a TIA. (transient ischemic attack)See http://www.stroke-tia.org/ and http://www.postgradmed.com/issues/2002/03_02/pn_tia.htm

for a bit of info. Or, do a google on transient ischemic attack.

It is not as bad as the name sounds. I had a little stroke after my heart attack last year, and I do just fine now. I will continue to pray for him.
