I’ve debated since this happen whether or not to blog about this because it’s CRAZY close to my heart and I’m usually pretty private when it comes to this sort of stuff. Also, I didn’t want to feel the pressure to keep people “updated” on what’s going on with my dad and wanted to just focus on being with him. But after much prayer and thinking I think it’s ok to write about.
A couple weeks ago while I was speaking at Flavor Fest in Tampa, Florida I got a call from my brother that my dad was going to the hospital because he had a seizure. The next call I got was that he was sedated and given anti-seizure medicine.
The next morning my brother told me that he was still unresponsive so I decided to leave Flavor Fest and get a flight out to Houston ASAP. So I flew out two hours later headed home to Houston.
Here’s the diagnosis: He had a “massive stroke” (The term the neurologist used) on both sides of the brain and he has lots of brain damage on both sides of the brain.
The progress: It’s still early to make any big statements about his progress but he’s make some definite progress from being completely unresponsive for an entire week to moving a little bit, trying to open his eyes. Now we’re just praying and waiting and seeing what type of progress he makes!
Prayers are appreciated.

Facts are neither truth not lies. They are simply temporary conditions. Truth is what God says about those conditions. Lies are what the devil says about them.
I stole this from Ken Copeland, the moral is for us to focus on what God says, and I know you do this well. As for me I will stand with you on those promises of God and will not be moved. I will hold up your arms in prayer as many of us will. When you are tired rest dear son, know that it is covered.
Your Father is a blessed man and God knows what he needs. We love you much and are here for you.
Big Hug
In the riches of His Glory
