All is well in Bacardi land… He has gained back the weight that he lost (and then some!), and it looks like the antibiotics did the trick. He looks healthier than ever. Thanks to all of you for your thoughts and prayers!

As some of you know, my father, Paul, suffered an Ischemic Stroke on 2/21/2008 which left him paralyzed on the right side and without speech. He spent a week at the Hospital before he was stable enough to move to a Rehabilitation Center. At that time, the doctor’s wanted him to start rehab as soon as possible. They said to expect a full, or close to full recovery, but that it may take as long as 5-6 months. Within a couple weeks he was talking somewhat, and was able to move his right leg, which gave us much hope.
However, on 3/5/2008, he apparently suffered a TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack) and was rushed to Emergency A TIA is a “warning stroke” or “mini-stroke” that produces stroke-like symptoms but no lasting damage.
Currently, he is back at the rehabilitation center, and I have decided to take a few months off from my hectic performance schedule in order to help my family prepare for my father’s return home. Please stay tuned, as I hope to see you all again soon. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.
