Prayers for my brother Please
Last Saturday, my youngest brother & his wife were in Watkins Glen, NY attending a class to learn about growing mushrooms. When they were getting up to take a break he became disoriented & confused. His wife realized something was wrong & they called 911 for help. He got life flighted to a hospital in Rochester, NY & is still there. It was a stroke, but they had him at the hospital within the "golden hour" but he certainly isn't out of the woods yet. He's only 58 years old & had swelling of the brain which caused tremendous pressure. Yesterday, they realized that the upper part of his heart is enlarged & circulation is restricted. Now, today they did an MRI & found bleeding.
He's got a long road to recovery & could use all the prayers he can get. Please help.
Thanks

You got 'em, Al. "Only 58 years old"...I'm the same age. Scary stuff. Prayers on the way.

Re: Prayers for my brother Please
Thanks guys. I appreciate it.
I got an update today that is kind of bad, but also kind of good.
They had planned to do another heart test today, but had to postpone it because they found a second brain bleed. The neurologist says that the scans show much more damage than he presents though. Language is still an issue, but at times he speaks very clearly. He does better when it's his own thoughts & he's not answering questions.
It does seem like prayers are being answered.... please keep them coming.
Thanks again,
Al
