On Wednesday night my Dad suffered a stroke and is in the hospital. He has lost control and feeling on his right side as well as the vision on the right side. His memory is gone and his speech is affected. He hasn't been doing too well the last few days. He was very sleepy and confused. We found out that the artery on the left side of his neck is almost completely blocked and caused the stroke and he could have another one. Although I have only been doing SQF for a few weeks I decided this afternoon that I would do Sword Fingers on him to see if it would help. I figured it sure couldn't hurt him. I wasn't sure I had enough experience or even enough chi to accomplish much. I was hoping maybe I could get rid of a bit of the blockage in the artery to help reduce the chance of another stroke. When my mum and I went back to see him tonight, did we ever get a surprise! He was sitting up and wide awake and when we asked him how he was feeling, he said that he had started to feel much better about 1 1/2 hours ago. He was able to move his arm and leg quite well considering. He was a bit more like his old self and even joked around a bit. I was blown away, I never expected anything like that. Both my Mum and I were so thrilled. I decided to do a bit more sword fingers to see if I could help him a bit more. Tomorrow we will see how he is. I wish I knew more about the healing aspect of SQF so I could help him more. I am so grateful that I found SQF at this time and I feel that the reason I did find it now was to be able to help my Dad.
