Dear Friends,My father, Ed Klos, had a stroke on Sunday evening, January 26, 2020. So, I'll be using my blog to help our friends keep up with his condition over the next little while. Thanks for your prayers on his behalf and on behalf of my mother and family.
Late Sunday night Mom noticed that he wasn't responding and called the ambulance. Because of difficulties in getting a clear CT scan it took awhile to figure out what was really happening (Dad can be very fidgity!). The doctors were able to determine that it was a blockage of an artery rather than a bleed and administered the drug for dissolving the clot just about at the 4-hour mark and sent him immediately to Gundersen Medical Center in La Crosse. Upon arrival he went immediately to surgery (2 am) where the bulk of the clot was removed.
Monday was spent recovering from surgery and constant checks to see what he could do, remember, and say.
Tuesday after an early morning CT-scan it was determined that his brain had swollen further and the doctors have said that while there are positive signs with his memory, speaking, and other signs the swelling is concerning. The next 24-hours will be critical. Please keep the prayers coming! :)
