I know I've already sent this to a few of you but I thought I'd re -send it and update. It's really hard for me to put this any other way but my father had a very serious stroke (a cerebellar hemorrhage) at 1:30 AM on 7/11/08 and was transferred from San Ramon Regional Hospital to Eden Hospital in Castro Valley so they could perform emergency surgery. He's been unconscious since surgery and has a shunt in his head that is draining cerebral spinal fluid due to hydrocephalus (a swelling of the brain ventricles) and on a breathing tube. He had complications regarding his clotting factor during surgery due to Hepatitis C so he had to be transfused with platelets to help him clot. Unfortunately, he continued to bleed post surgery and it has created serious problems with his brain stem. He isn't expected to regain consciousness and his prognosis is the worst case scenario. I hate to ask anything of people but if you could all say a prayer for him, I would be so very appreciative.
Due to this, I will most likely not be online much to talk. I've been running on next to no sleep (I've slept 8 hours since Wednesday morning) and will be going back and fourth to the hospital and trying to get stuff done at home. Also, please do NOT call me. My phone number has been given to the hospital and will be called if additional authorization is needed for anything so the line cannot be tied up. Just wanted to let you know...
