We called for an ambulance and he was rushed to the hospital. My wonderful DH suffered a TIA stroke and was admitted to the ICU after being given a drug called TPA(clotbuster) and he has regained probably 98% of what was lost. Thank God for everyone's prayers we received. His carotid artery on the right side will have to have surgery soon - it is blocked 70% and the doctors think that is what caused the stroke. I was by his side the whole time he was in the hospital and he came home 12/27 with a good prognosis. We will be celebrating Christmas with the other 5 grandchildren over this coming weekend. Thanks for listening just had to let it out!!!

Blessings for you and your DH! I got mine home from the hospital on Sunday night! He had two aneurysms grafted. When he first went in (Tues.) they were only going to do one and he'd be home in 48 hours but once "in" they decided to repair the 2nd one in the abdomen. 5 days all in all. Good to get it over with, tho.
