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

Hi Greg, you can add my prayers for your father, and my agreement with others who urge you to get a second opinion and find a physician with whom you have confidence. My best wishes to your family.
To: gwmoore
Having been through this with my own father for several years, if you don't mind I would like to offer you a little advice. Don't just take the word of the doctor, You have to push hard for the right care for your Dad.
Don't leave him alone in the hosptial anymore than is necessary and don't be passive.
The medical profession is now one that figures someone your dad's age is a useless eater, and will do all they can to convince you it is best to let nature take it's course.
I fought long and hard and pushed my weight around to make sure everything was being done for my DAd that should be. Sorry to tell you that you have to do that, but you do.
My prayers are with you and your dad. Please don't let the doctor bully you, stand up for your dad and demand the best care possible.

Thank you for honoring the father's that served in our nation's armed forces. I had never thought of honoring them on Father's Day, but what a perfect time to really send a message home for so many. Thank you for your dedication to this much needed group of real heros. May God bless you and keep you.

It is not uncommon for stroke victims to make outstanding recoveries. With God all things are possible.
