I got word last night that my Dad had a stroke. I missed the last flight to Des Moines but I am here now. He can't talk or move his right yet.

If any of you are willing to say a prayer for a former Fiero owner and great guy, my family would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Kenton

hopefully your dad will pull through Kenton. my prayers are with you

Done.

More prayers sent.

And prayers from here as well Race.

Prayers and good vibes coming his way......

Good luck to you guys.
I hope the best for a great recovery.

They are about to do another CT scan to check for bleeding in his brain. He is able to move his right leg a little but not his right arm and he hasn't spoken yet. They are telling us that it could be a couple of days until they know what is going on.

Our prayers go out for your Dad.
We hope for the best.
Stay strong.

Yes, Race, prayers for your dad's speedy recovery. I'm not afraid of much anymore but there are a couple of things. Burning to death and a fully debilitating stroke are a couple of the few. Strokes scare me and is the reason I actually take medication for my blood pressure to keep it under control. Best wishes to your dad and you.

I wish him the best man. I dont know you from adam but my dad suffered a stroke about a month ago today. He is doing okay but I must admit he is not the man he was before.

I will keep you and you family in my thoughts

DONE.

Request granted.

Been through this one too with my wife. Not fun.....after the initial I.C.U. stay is over and it's determined what options are available and best to persue, a good attitude is essential to a good recovery. No one can do it for him, but everyone that cares about him can help. Good luck to you and him.........if there's no brain bleed, there's better chances of a full recovery. Too much talk already...........well wishes headed your way..........may God bless.

Race, the bestest wishes I can give your way, along with my prayers.

Hey Kenton, your father and family have been added to my prayer list. Let me know if you need help with anything.

Praying now my friend.

Best thoughts and prayers your way.

Done, and I hope he recovers soon!

James 5:16:

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

my prayers go out to your dad and you and the family. God bless and a speedy recovery. John

Thanks again everybody. I spent another day at the hospital. So far he is about the same. The doctor says that he will get an MRI tomorrow morning at 7:30am. We should know more about what is going on after that.

I knew that strokes were bad but until it happens to somebody you are close to it is hard to understand. It is tough seeing somebody who is so capable laying there struggling to get out of bed all day and not really knowing what is going on around him. This is the guy who jeeps, hikes, and has climbed two mountains in the last 3 months. The thought of my dad having stroke never even crossed my mind.

Been through the same ..... my gal and I send your dad all positive thoughts and vibes .....
Take care my american friend .....

Kenton, how old is your dad?

Hoping for the best...

Sending positive thoughts and energy to you and your family. I cannot even imagine being in your position, but I hope for the best and wish for your father to recover completely!

My dad is almost 70 but you would never know it.

Prayers are already being answered. He is out of ICU and has stood on his legs. Some strength has returned to his right leg already. It is amazing. Hopefully he can get the use of his right hand back soon.

This is a tough thing for him mentally but he has a large support system. We are going to do our best to get him back to 100 percent.

I appreciate you guys.

very sorry to hear i will pray for him . stay strong race... he needs encourgement.let him know in your own way that your there for him any way he needs you. best wishes!
