Ken had another stroke last night. A fairly large one. That is the third one in a month and a half.
We went to Fairfax Hospital via 911 Ambulance at around 10pm when Ken was unable to walk or feel anything at all on his right side. Prior to this, when being discharged on Thursday from the stroke center, Ken was able to walk fine and only had slight numbness on his right hand.
He has been checked into Neuroscience ICU and will likely reamin there for the rest of this week. The surgeon suspects that he will be discharged from there into rehab, as right now, he has no use of his right side at all. I don't even know how long until he is back at the house. I guess it could be months. I think I may have to take some family medical leave from work, I just don't know how productive I am going to be the next few weeks. I'll probably need to sell one of the cars, too. No need to pay two car notes.
He was having a cerebral angiogram during todays 11-1 visiting hours, but I'll be there during this evenings hours.

Todd, I'm so so sorry to hear this. I knew something was wrong when I saw the ambulance. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.
