At about 4:00 today my phone rang. It was Aaron. I knew as soon as he said "Darla" that something was wrong. He never calls me Darla. He told me that I needed to go the emergency room immediately. Poppie had had a stroke.
Yes, Aaron's dad is at the hospital just around the corner from us. He had a stroke this afternoon. It was mild but as of right now he has some speech issues. He is also having troubles seeing out of his right eye, although that is getting better. The neurologist is hopeful that he will recover from that. The bigger worry right now is a large clot just below his ear. It is so large that they are not able to remove it at this point. They are giving the medicine 24 hours to see if it can break up the clot. If not, he will be going in for surgery on Sunday to remove it.
We will keep everyone updated as we are updated. Until then, please send good thoughts his way.
