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

Prayers for your father.
I would also urge you to get a second opinion if you feel his physician is not handling his case appropriately. Any good physician will not be insulted if you do.

HI All.
I used the canteen ping list for the prayer request, and I will also make the post on the USO thread. Please feel free to ping whoever else you feel may want to add to the prayers going up to the Ultimate Physician.
Thanks much.
Greg.

My prayers are with you for your father. Please get him to an accredited hospital where they will take good care of him and give him the proper treatment. This doctor seems like he doesn't know what he is doing. Your father should be taken care of properly especially at his age. PLEASE do some looking around for an accredited doctor or hospital. There has to be a hospital that specializes in rehabilitation for stroke victims and has a great reputation. Ask questions.

Prayers on the way for your father, gwmoore, and prayers for you and your family too. This is a tough thing to go through. Please know that you and your father will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Prayers for your Dad, and that you make the right "decisions".
What does the term, "99% aphasic" mean? I am just curious, not that I need any info to pray fervently for your Dad and your family.

Prayers for your father.
I second the motion of those who have urged you to get a 2nd opinion - and the sooner the better.
After my grandfather's stroke the doctors said he'd never walk again. Grandpa said he'd be damned if he'd spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. It took a while, but he walked again, just fine.
