Dad had stroke

Hi Everyone,

If you could say some prayers for my Dad.
He recently had a stroke. Had several stints many years ago.
This one seems quite serious as MRI shows it is cerebellum or brain stem, not sure fully myself yet.
They're doing more tests to see how they should go about treating it, but this one seems much more serious.

Thanks all!

Thanks everyone.

I really feel like the prayers here make a difference at times.

To provide an update he seems to have recovered from the stroke.
He is now swallowing fine and talking alright (previously wasn't) and seems to be more with it.
Current doctors refuse to say whether it was a stroke because there's "nothing to be seen" -- mainly because the first hospital for some reason fabricated their reports.
Bit of a story to it, but by all accounts it was a stroke.

An artery in his neck has closed, but apparently not too much of an issue.
Thinking is that a clot may have come off which is the scary part.
But, he wasn't taking meds properly due to side effects.
More tests are still being done.

Hopefully he'll be alright.
But then, could just be a ticking time bomb before he is struck again. Especially if they don't pin the cause.

We all have our time, but hopefully he'll get to see my kids grow up for many more years.

Well, he's back in hospital again.
Same symptoms as before difficulty swallowing.
This time he went straight to the better more specialised hospital.
Please pray we at least find out this time what is happening.
