Disciple of Prayer
My Dad (Joe) had a major stroke Monday night. It left him not able to talk and swallow. His cognitive ability is as if he just stares into space. Other times he seems to focus. Doctors said 6-8 weeks is the time if any improvement would occur. He's 84 and a lot of medical issues including on dialysis, Parkinson like disease and just the start of dementia. They said we could stop everything and he would be gone with 2 weeks to a month or put the feeding tube in to get nutrition, then therapy and continue dialysis. We agreed to give him the 8 weeks for him to fight and give God control. In the past he always wanted the surgeries and that is what we went on in making the decision. It will be hard to see him like this but we want to give him the chance. After 8 weeks the family will discuss again. I've committed myself to prayer and fasting for healing of my Dad and family as well as me becoming closes in my walk. I thank you in advance.
