I haven’t posted on Facebook in a while, but I wanted to share what's been happening.
Last week, my 98-year-old Dad was found on the floor at his home after apparently being there for at least 4 days following a fall. He was taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital, where scans suggest he has suffered at least one stroke (possibly more).
He remains in the hospital, and his condition is serious. His long-term outlook is uncertain, so we are taking things one day at a time.
There have, however, been some encouraging moments. He still responds to familiar faces, voices and touch, and we’ve seen smiles, laughter and flashes of his usual dry sense of humour, which have meant a lot to our family.
Thank you to everyone for your support, prayers and kind messages.
During this difficult time, please understand that I may not be able to answer every question. I’ll share updates when there is something meaningful to report.
