E-Mail Update from Melany:
Well Sunday was a pretty good day.
They are still struggling to keep his blood pressure down. They changed his medication again to try another one.
He was awake a lot but still was not talking...just mumbling.
The doctor was pushing on the bottom of his right foot to see if he had any feeling there.
He didn't feel anything until he pushed on some pressure points between his toes.
He opened his eyes really wide so he knew he felt that. The doctor said that was good. He did not feel anything though when he tried pinching spots on his right hand.
The doctor was telling my mom that my dad is a very interesting case because he said that 75% of the people that suffer an acute stroke like he has and has that much blood in the brain don't even live. He said the other 25% are in a coma. They can't believe that he is awake and can respond like he is.
For that I am very thankful.
He definately has his good days and his bad days but I thank God for the little things everyday and for what he can do at this point.
Thank you all for your prayers!
Melany
