Not a happy day(or rather,night)

I’m sitting in the trauma waiting room in a huge hospital in Marietta,Georgia. Mr Wazoo has had a stroke and my daughter drove me here and we're waiting for the neurosurgeon to come tell us something. Thank God I am a nurse and my daughter is a PA. I woke her up and we both agreed he was having a stroke. Slurred speech, not able to move his left arm and leg, facial droop, the whole magilla. I called 911 and they arrived in about ten minutes. The ambulance took him directly to the hospital where he transferred to a helicopter and was whisked off to the closest neuro trauma hospital. After the CT the doctor called me (in the car) and told us it was a clot type stroke and they would be taking him to surgery ASAP to remove it. He had the clot busting drug as soon as he got here. Now, we just wait. Our Christmas plan just went out the window, but we’ll still be together and that’s what counts.
Pray for us and have a Merry Christmas with your families. I love you all
