FReeper Prayer request for my Father

I would appreciate the prayers of all FReepers and their families for my father, Mr. Charles R. Moore, who suffered a stroke or a reasonable facsimile therof, last Friday (this is a ball park figure, as I believe that the event happened Tuesday a week ago.

Dad is 85, and has been an active person his whole life, and was active until this happened. He is now 99% aphasic, and has hemiplegia on his right side. His physician who is handling the case is kind of the type of physician who, in my opinon, has not picked up a medical text nor followed the literature since He recieved his MD.

My Dad is being given a week of rehab,which, frankly, I feel is a little premature in coming. At that time, "decisions" (the MD's word) will have to be made as to what will happen next. I would like to make statements about the physician who is in charge of the case, but I don't feel like being the recipient of litigation regarding his qualifications. I will however say that my general opinion is that of things associated with ducks.

I would appreciate the prayers of FReepers and lurkers for an improvement, but, as we all know, such things are best left for our Savior and Great Physician.

Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts during his time of need.

Thanks also, for all the FReepers who are Keeping the Faith for Freedom and serving our Country at home and overseas.

May God bless you all
Greg Moore

...I wouldn't be a bit surprised if some of the political infighting going on this week behind closed doors in Committee is about people like MONSOOR IJAZ testifying about BILL CLINTON saying "NO" to bringing OSAMA bin LADEN here for Trial 3 Times during the 1990's...!!!

NOT ONE BIT.

Greg,
My father had a stroke and I was told he would never come out of the coma he was in. I fought to have them tube feed him. Ten days later he woke up and said HI to me. I had the best 2 years of my relationship with him afterwards. Don't let them bully you into less than agressive care.
My heavenly Father is hearing of both of your needs right now.

[Pegita]

Bring to this family, Lord, the healing that is needed, the wisdom that is desired, and the comfort of Your presence. In the Name of Jesus, Amen ...

Prayers are on the way from Phoenix, AZ.

My father-in-law had a stroke in '99, just a few days before his 70th birthday. He has a little weakness in his right arm, but can still play golf almost as well as he did before. It's the aphasia that has been the toughest to deal with. He can understand alot of what is going on, but he can't communicate back to us very well at all.

As someone explained to us, strokes are like snowflakes - they are all different. It all depends on what areas of the brain are affected, the determination of the patient, the support of family and friends, etc.

We spent alot of time researching and working with therapists. Frankly, therapists are much more helpful than doctors in this situation - they spend alot more time with patients and generally, they are more current on new therapies. We were shocked at how soon our dad was sent home from the hospital, but it turned out for the best because the therapists were the most helpful. Eventually you might want to seek out support groups - may be more helpful for you than your dad, its hard to say.

Anyway, Freep mail me anytime if there's anything you'd like to ask. God bless you and your family.
