Thanks again, everyone, for praying!!! Today they did the scan, which really didn't show any changes, but the doctor for now has decided NOT to do the surgery and see if it will correct on its own over time. Thank the Lord! I just hated the thought of him being put to sleep again at 80 years old.
They did move him to a regular room, mainly because the Neuro ICU was full and there were people more critical than him. Last night we had "Nurse Helga", but today we got a good one. LOL

Changes are abounding! Now they ARE going to do the surgery - going in Thursday morning and drilling two holes in his skull to let the fluid out. Please pray that he will do okay with the anesthesia. That's my biggest concern right now.
He definitely is getting worse though from the swelling. Yesterday he walked down the hall, pretty fast, with the aid of PT people. Today, he is really dragging his right side/foot and even can't sit on the side of the bed without leaning. So I know they HAVE to get that blood out that is causing the pressure.
My mom is totally exhausted - sleeping only a few hours a night. I think five hours is her record in the past 16 days.

Praying for your dad-- and for strength for your whole family as you're going through this. I know it's exhausting on the family. God can bring him through this-- He is our healer.
Praying for your mom - and for sleep to come - peace of mind to overwhelm her - and rest to you all. We're holding you up before God during this trial. Pray whatever doctors do will bring results that give God the glory!
