Background on Don's stroke

On Saturday, June 27th, Don Scott suffered a stroke while eating brunch at a local restaurant with Pat and Katherine. Pat immediately called 911 and the ambulance response was very prompt. He was taken to Wake Medical Hospital on New Bern Rd. in Raleigh.
The doctors determined that he had suffered a "deep bleed" in the middle of the brain and was therefore not operable. He was given medicine to help clot his blood so as to stop the bleeding. The left side of his body is presently paralized, his speech is affected but understandable and he is coherent. He is aware of all that is going on around him and has excellent memory both long and short term. Pat called Mr. Roberson who immediately began calling friends and co-workers at David Allen. It was not long before the emergency waiting room was filled with those who came to support Don and his family. He is now in ICU and resting comfortably except for a small headache. Pat said he was in good spirits. The next 24 hours will be very important for Don and I will be updating this blog as soon as I have anything new to report. Pat and the family would greatly appreciate your prayers for Don and in typical Scott fashion graciously extend their thanks for your love and concern.
