We have no answers...

So, as you all know my father is back in the ICU as of Sunday night. He had been having a continuous seizure, which I suppose can also be looked at as a stroke. What type of stroke, we are not sure because they have been unable to take him for a CAT scan due to his critical nature. He is on a ventilator again, not conscious, heavily sedated, and non responsive. We are really unsure as to what is happening, or to what the prognosis is. We just don't know, which of course is extremely scary. Right now what the doctors plan to do is to decrease sedation, decrease the vent, and see how much he can participate in breathing on his own, as well as get him stable enough to take him for a CAT scan. Once this happens, we will have more information about the damage that has been done and what we can expect. So until then, I am sorry but we just don't have any answers. My mom, Carrie and I are all together in Florida. Aunt Jinny is here taking good care of us. We are sticking together and providing as much strength and support as we can for each other. It is really hard right now, and we are all very sad and in pain. When we know more, we will certainly let you all know who have been so diligent about following my dad's progress. Thanks again for the love and support. We really need it right now!
