Dad's stroke November 9, 2009

My dad had a Hemorrhagic Stroke this morning. It was an intracerebral hemorrhage which means a blood vessel broke inside the brain. It took them about 4 hours to stop the bleeding. The concern for the doctors is the hemorrhage is still in there. They have him on some medication that keeps the swelling down. They said the next 7 to 10 days are critical. Once he is out of the clear they will decide if they need to do some surgery to remove the hemorrhage. From Joe
