Well, my grandparents live with us, in the same house, but upstairs.
Last Saturday, my grandfather got out of the bath tub and then went into the living room with my grandmother, he was really out of breath, like he always is(he only has a quarter of one lung left, he has emphezema(sp)) Anyway, but it was different, this time he couldn't get his words out right, he couldn't talk right.
This only lasted for about 5-7 minutes, but it has happened several times a day ever since. It sort of sounds like mini-strokes.
My grandmother forced him to go to the doctor yesterday, she told my mom to pull in there, and then she looked back at him and she said "you're going to the doctor" lol he said ":confused: no, Im not!!" lol he tried to tell her he was alright since, but he wasn't.
So they went in, and the doctor checked his blood pressure(which is perfect) and so he's going to make him an appointment to get a CT scan and both sides of his neck checked out(main arteries to his brain, or something?).
Please pray that everything is fine!
