Dad's Surgery Weekend

BubbleShare: Share photos - Find great Clip Art Images.

My Father recently had surgery and had some complications. He had some internal bleeding with caused him to have a mild stroke. He lost his eyesight in his left eye, but within a couple of days half of it came back. As soon I found out that he did in fact have a mild Stroke I along with many of my siblings flew home to be with each other and help where we could. As you can see when the family comes home it’s a full house. I’m not sure Dad was able to get a lot of sleep and rest with so many of us in the house, but I think it did lift his spirits by having so many of us around. He is still working on full recovery and on his good days he would come out and sit with us in the Living room for just a little bit. I am grateful that I went home and was able to be with Dad and help where I could. Currently Dad is still having good days and bad days but we hope that he will continue to have better days than bad. I appreciate all the prayers and thoughts that so many of you have shared with my family. Thank you!
