...My dad's in the hospital... [Update]

[Edit]
Well dad's gotten better. And he just got back home Friday, a.k.a. yesterday. The thing that I had forgotten what was called was an MRI, that's what the doc said he needed.

He had that and uh, Thursday he had heart surgery. He had a hole, I think, that was there and the doctors went and patched it up. That was the reason they believe he had the stroke. So hopefully it wont happen again.

His speech is getting better, as I've told a few of my friends already. It's not exactly like it was before, but he's seeing a speech therapist that will hopefully help him out some more. His personality hasn't changed a bit though, so I'm glad to see that.

Gosh, I just want to thank all you guys that helped pray and give confidence to me that he'd be okay. I totally feel like I owe you guys so much now, but I'm still totally grateful.

Once I have some time on my hands I will draw you all something (most likely a character of yours). As a thank you gift. No objections, kay?

Heh, but it may be a little bit since I've still got some school stuff to worry about fist. Not to mention that giant to do list. Nonetheless, I will try and do something for you guys.

Sincerely,

Mom says he had a stroke or something like that.. And he has a small blood clot in his brain..

He couldn't talk this morning so mom took him to the hospital.. I didn't know about any of this until later in the afternoon when mom took us to go see him..

My god I'm so scared right now.. And I'm crying my eyes out... H-he's talking now, but.. Not in full sentences.. A-and he's struggling to say the simplest words... He can hardly say my name even.. He's still thinking properly he says.. I-It's just his speech.. And earlier it was his muscle movements as well (Mom told me).. Those are okay too now though...

It hurts me so bad to see him like this... He's the smartest man I know, but... with this blood clot in his head.. It makes him seem like he's the complete opposite.. It kills me to see him struggle like this..

I guess the doctors said that he'd get a... Eesh I can't remember what it's called.. But it'll help thin his blood or something I think.. And he'll be back home in two to three days.. Which is a bit of good news.. But he doesn't know if his speech will be back to the way it was... It's unpredictable...

I'm christian.. But often forget to say my prayers.. However I'm am sure as heck going to do a lot of that tonight. And would like to ask, if any of my watchers could possibly help me pray that he's going to be alright.. I would really appreciate it..

I hardly have any friends in real life.. So I was hoping anyone on da could.. You know, help me get through this or something... I... I'll be on for a little while longer.. But I've got SOL testing tomorrow, so I have to get in enough sleep as I can so that I can have enough energy to pass it.. I don't know how easy it'll be for me to sleep when I'm feeling like this... But I'll try..
