so yesterday i was all depressed about not getting the job (those of u who didnt see- i thought i was getting a long island teaching job but didnt get it) when i get a call from my mom

my dad was out today driving to the stores and all of a sudden he felt really weak and it was hard for him to breathe..thank god he managed to make it home and then he told my mom to call 911 and he passed out..so he was taken in an ambulance..hes been through a lot of tests but of course we still dont have results back yet...when i first got to the hospital hes speech was very slow and like confused (out of nowhere hes telling me that i need to get aol vista for him cause he cant find it anywhere- apparently thats what he was out looking for when he started to feel bad)..and he said his right arm was numb...but by the end of the night he was more like himself and said the numbness was going away

We think he had a mild stroke...we are still waiting for actual results..but either way he'll be ok...but it was def very scary..anyways just keep him in your thoughts please for a speedy recovery! Im supposed to leave tonight at 10pm for myrtle beach and even tho he still wants me to go same time as planned, i really want to make sure hes ok first (we are driving down anyway) so im not sure if im leaving tonight still or not

im going to be babysitting all day today so i might not respond to this thread for a bit..but i want to thank you in advance for your support..yesterday was just one of those days

oh and thanks colleen and Kerri for thinking about me and leaving me a message when u saw my away message!

you don't have to thank me for anything. that's what friends are for right?
i know i don't know you all that well, but you've been so supportive and helpful and nice to me... if there is anything i can do, please don't hesitate to ask.

your father will be in my prayers

Im so sorry about your dad!
Actually something just like this happend to Fh last year too! They ran a ton of tests on him but didn't find anything.
They did the test for holes in his heart too...sometimes people can have a condition called patent foramen ovale where a blood vessel that is open while the baby is in the uterus and is supposed to close after a person is born doesn't actually close all the way. Things like blood clots can get caught in the hole and can cause strokes that way. Im not sure if this is what your dad's doctors may be talking about though.

Either way, your family is in our prayers!

I don't know exactly but It probably is making it harder for the blood to circulate causing him to breathe faster to make up for the loss.
