Not so exciting news

Hey guys! how's it going? Good I hope, I'm not doing to bad, spring has sprung and with it my spirits have lifted, it's my favorite time of the year, a time for new beginnings and warmth! So... While things are going not to bad for me... I have some bad news about my Dad... after a year of tests we finally have part of an answer, atleast somthing to go by. The doctor's did another CatScan (How is that spelt?) and it turns out that since the last Catscan my dad has had two more strokes, so he's had three in total in a year... the part of the brain that these strokes have effected the most is the area that controls his motivation and emotions... which would explain his lack of emotion, and how he can lay in bed all day long and not care, he has no motivation to care, and no emotions to realize that it's not right. It's been living with him here, I don't really feel like this has been a year of rest, it's just been a year of stopping, my last year at home to get my things in order for moving, to spend time with my family, but this is extremely hard on my mom. She's working full time because they dont' have anything really saved up for retirement, she's taking care of Uncle Dave, as well as Dad and now we know that Dad won't be getting better... it's an extra blow and really hard to handle. In the next couple weeks mom and dad are supose to go to winnipeg to a stroke clinic where they can get more info about how to deal with this and I'm probably going to go too. Pray that they will give us some hope, and a way to deal with this so that he can still function. Mom's also looking into getting a homecare worker to come in and take him to town in the morning to swim, go for a walk and go for coffee everyday, just so he can get in a routine cuz I work at 5 am every morning and mom can't wait around bugging him to get out of bed cuz then she'll be late for work.... So that's the situation with my dad... if you could pray for my family, that would be great, oh and if you could pray for Myles, he doesn't know yet cuz we want him to concentrate on finishing his last school semester at Manhattenville... Pray that he will take it well too. And pray for rest, cuz I really want some!
Love ya guys!
