From Rocky

After having a massive stroke they decided last night they need to remove part of his skull bone to relieve the pressure, which would have killed him. Things were looking pretty grim last night. The neurologist feels that on a scale of 1-10 Dad is a 9 in terms of how what the best we could hope for this morning. He is moving very little and has his eyes closed, but he is able to nod his head slightly yes and no. The doctor said he was able to follow some directions. When asked to open his eyes he did. When asked to wiggle his toes he did. And when asked to show two fingers Dad gave the neurologist “the finger.” Nothing like coming out of a stroke and brain surgery still being a smart ass.

We appreciate all of the love, prayers, food, etc. we have received. You are all welcome to send emails and I will respond to them when I can. Please keep the calls to a minimum as we are not allowed to use them when visiting with him and we have a lot going on. I will try to give more updates as things progress.

Thanks, Rocky
