dad's notes from call with doctor oct 10th 1pm

Dad's notes from call with doctors at 1pm on Monday - keep in mind that he is in Rhode Island and has been receiving updates from Tricia and Neil from the emergency room in Chicago. We're only15 hours since I was taken by ambulance to the emergency room. Tricia who ran a marathon the day before is operating on very little sleep, caffene and a ferocious instinct to protect her brother - all while trying to understand just what exactly has happened and if and when he and mom should fly out to Chicago..."he reported massive stroke, damage to left side...critical condition .. bleak progress. put on ventilator. called SW 6:40 flight, further conversation about possibility of transfer to loyola, told doctor we approved although warned about risk of transfer."
