Early morning phone calls

I really hate hearing my phone ringing early in the morning. I always know it is something bad. Today my melissa (sister) called me saying that dad had a stroke. He was being taken my ambulance to the hospital. He had a blood clot somewhere and that is why the stroke. It must have happened sometime last night and he didn't know. I called and was able to talk to Sue and to dad. He is paralyzed on his right side and is aware of who everyone is. I am so grateful for blessings. He was blessed to regain enough to live comfortably for the rest of his life. I am grateful to have him at least be able to speak and know everyone. If he is going to be in a wheelchair, its ok. I just don't want him to suffer. I will blog when I know more.
