Todd

Amy G wrote: Thank you to everyone for your prayers for Todd. And thank you especially to Melanie for all the calls she made last night for me. I called her since it sounded exactly like what she had experienced a few years and she would know what was going on and what to expect (more than I would) if anyone had questions. Thank you Melanie! Update: MRI last night confirmed a minor stroke at the base of his skull. Had then went in for an ultrasound to check for any other possible clots floating around, and they didn't find any more. He has no paralysis anywhere, but the left side of this body is numb and can't feel. He still has full range of movement and has not lost any strength on that side. Doctor (finally) prescribed morphine for his head pain so he's been able to relax and get some rest. The doctor informed him that he will be having a busy day today with all the testing their planning on doing, one of them being a camera put down his throat so they can look at his heart from the inside of his chest, and also starting physical therapy. Doctor said he will be in the hospital probably through Monday. He is in Room 517 at Mt Carmel East Hospital in Columbus. Main number is (614) 234-6000 if anyone might want to call. Just know he will be more out of his room today than in, and he is on morphine, but he is coherent. I am heading over to spend the day with him and a wonderful family is taking the kids today, I will be coming home around 5:30 for our ward trunk or treat party that Todd doesn't want the kids to miss. We will play it by ear for tomorrow and church... We are doing fine out here, our ward family is a huge support and are taking care of any needs we may have. Everyone is begging to come get the kids so I can go be with Todd and the kids are happy to go play too! If you could just keep Todd in your prayers, that's all we need right now. Thank you to everyone for your love and concern. My cell # is 740-817-2564. Feel free to call or text me anytime. Also, Todd is asking that it not be broadcast on Facebook, not that anyone would, just keeping his wishes met. You are more than welcome to tell extended family, he doesn't want it kept a secret, he just doesn't want it on the world-wide-web, lol! Thank you again for all your prayers, he can feel them on his behalf. Love to all, Todd wrote: Thank you Mel. I asked Amy to ask Mel to make the calls so Amy could focus on the kids. I really think I'm going to be fine but it will take some time. Love you all. Myrna wrote: If you can type and think, my prayers have been answered!!!! I love you. Should we come? We think we should.
