TOUGH


                                                   A tough day for our family.                  

We wait for the phone call from the hospital from Dr. Hilary, another South African doctor.

He tells that Rick has had a stroke because a piece broke off his heart and travelled to the brain.  This is causing great damage as Rick has trouble standing and walking.  The doctor went on to tell Rick the news but Rick was already aware of it.  He is still dizzy and I wish we knew what cases that.

There will be many tough days ahead for Rick and for us all.

I am praying for a miracle!  I know this prayer will be answered in unexpected ways.

When tough times come we find an inner strength we did not know we had.

You need to keep Dad on his medications Mom. At least they know what happened and can treat it.
Not much we can do but wait for the DR to work their magic.

Was that dad conjectur on the heart proceedure causing the stroke? That is not what I understood.

We will all have to adjust now to another new normal as Ricky finds ways to live with this.
