Ron McCune Medical Update
Update on my dad Ron McCune.
For those of you who didn't know my dad went to the ER last Friday. He had had an episode that the morning, and after many test and overnight stay at Center Point they cleared him to go home Saturday evening.
When he was cleared to go home they said his cat scan was clear and he had Not had a stroke. But it's been a long week. Dad has not been reacting well to the medication and he has been trying to find a doctor to go see who can help. Wednesday he found someone who could see him, and Friday dad had his appointment. The doctor was concerned he have had high blood pressure in his brain, whatever that means. He told dad to go to straight to the ER and have a spinal tap test done. Once at St. Mary's, they required another CT skin before they could do the other test and the results came back that dad had had 2 small strokes. They are not sure when the strokes occurred but in comparing the MRI from last week to today's they concluded that he had two collapsed blood vessels about 8mm big.
So now dad has been checked into St. Mary's until Monday or Tuesday so that they can do more testing. They will also be monitoring to see how the medication affects him and what they need to do to alter the dosage. Which if you have gone your entire life without ever taking medication to suddenly dumping 6 different medications into your body it tends to wreak havoc.
Continue prayers and thoughts are appreciated. Below is the link for the GoFundMe page we set up. Dad is not going to be able to work until he is able to recover and unfortunately ones bill's don't take sick leave.
