Dad’s health scare
Woke up unresponsive
I did not write about this since this was involving my father. My parents normally goto bed together at 10pm every night. I woke up to use the bathroom at 11pm on June 14th, 2025. I see my father laying down on his recliner sleeping with the lights still on and my mom upstairs. I goto wake him up, he opens his eyes and does not talk, just stares at me. I say “Are you ok” I shake his leg. He just looks at me. It freaked me out. I ask again “Dad, are you ok”? nothing. I call my mom from upstairs. She comes down, we both ask if his is ok, he tries to talk but no words form. I say “Do you want me to call the ambulance”?? I ask him this for 10 mins. He does not talk. So I called 911.
Ambulance shows up
The paramedics show up. Asking questions etc. They took him to the hospital. I follow in my car to the ER. I was worried my father may have had a stoke. They took him to CT, did a scan on his brain for bleeders. None were found. Blood work, urine tests, everything came back normal. After my dad got out of CT he was talking to me. He did not know how he got the hospital and didn’t know what hospital or what year it was or how old he was. I was concerned. I spent the day with him in the ER and the nurses were waiting for a room to open up on the floor.
The next day
He got a room on the third floor the neurology unit. They got him an MRI of this head. No sign of a stroke. EEG brainwave, also everything normal. We concluded it was his anti cancer medication. His cancer doctor told him to stop taking it. Hes back home again now and I am happy that he got all those tests to see if he had a stroke. Hes back to normal now. I am very thankful.
