We know that many of you will have questions, but as of right now we don't have any further information.

Outline of Mr.Tonkin's health issues.
Please keep in mind that we're not medical experts and if we get something wrong, we're learning as we go.
Apologies in advance.

Last Friday, Mr. Tonkin was at the Chiropractor for a sore shoulder issue. While there, he had a heart attack and subsequent
stroke. Thank you God that he was at the Chiropractor for an ongoing shoulder issue and not at home.
If you know Mr.Tonkin, he would have just ignored it and slept on it until the morning.

We found out yesterday the extent of what had happened to his body.

Here's the rundown:
(Again, please keep in mind our medical expert ineptness.)

--massive heart attack
--Ischemic Stroke

*We believe this is the type of stroke he had because of other items we are about to detail.

--Artery to the brain was blocked/clogged.

--Clots in his neck.

--He was in CCU and they were hoping to move him to NCU soon.

--Bleeding ulcers

--Blood pressure is high.
  *As we were told elsewhere, they cannot give him blood thinners right now.

-----------------------------

Update from his business partner:

He spoke to Mr.Tonkin on the phone earlier this morning.
He says Mr.Tonkin's speech is slow, but clear.
He now has some movement.
Please pray for his eye sight that it is fully restored.
 

If we've been told correctly, this will be a long journey ahead for him.
Please keep him and his family in your prayers.
We all greatly appreciate all the prayers, thoughts, sentiments, and concern from all those online.

We'll try to update everyone when we get more information and permission to do so.

Also, thank you to a very special FReeper who has seen Mr.Tonkin personally and has reported back that he's starting to get better.

Apologies for anyone we've missed! Thank you to StarCMC and Brad's Gramma for trying to get everyone's name from the thread.

Thanks for the update on Tonkin. It sounds good and yet doesn't sound good to me on a personal knowledge of the stroke damage. Continued prayers.

THank you Mojo. That is actually about as good a prognosis as we could have hoped for.

As his body recovers they should be able to start him on BP meds and thinners.

Tonk definately has a long road ahead of him, but he should recover much if not all that he has lost. There will be bumps and setbacks along the way, but this type of stroke is survivable and recoverable. Hopefully his heart is not too badly damaged.

Will continue prayers, and cannot wait for the day that we get a message from Tonk himself.

Thanks for the update, it sounds like there is at least some reason to be optimistic.

Prayers continue.
