Setback! Dad’s Back In the Hospital

He suffered a stoke this morning. Hopefully it’s a minor problem but we’re concerned. He had the stroke while mother was getting him ready for breakfast. She called the ambulance and they took him to the emergency room in Soda Springs.

Nina and I drove up and waited there for a while as the doctor completed the evaluation. He was then transported by ambulance to Pocatello (the same hospital he was discharged from yesterday). He actually seemed to get quite a bit better in the emergency room there.

Then they moved him by ambulance to the east hospital here in Pocatello. His speech has become gibberish. He’s not moving his right leg much and seems to have some weakness in his right arm and hand. He’s not in pain, I don’t think.

So, we’re in the room waiting and watching.
