UPDATE:
Dad's Dr. appointment was at 4PM today. They talked about several things, and may have run some blood tests but due to the timing of the appointment, they decided to have him come in again tomorrow morning to run more blood tests, and schedule him for an MRI. There are a few things that could be the culprit, one of which they could go in and put a stint in the back of his neck. One other possibility is that it could have been a mini stroke.
Again, these are just preliminary possibilities, and not a diagnosis, as of yet. Thank you all so much for keeping him in your thoughts, and prayers. Please continue to do so. Our family is grateful for your love and support.
*END*
He called last night and told me he has been feeling a little "off". He's having issues with balance, as well as a few other things. (I'll be talking to him more about it today, so hopefully I'll have more detailed info to share.)
My parents seem to think their chiropractor "with medical training" can help diagnose his issues. Please, don't get me wrong, I know that chiropractors have their place, but I do not believe he should be the one giving my dad a medical diagnosis. This really bothers me, since I have no idea if what he would tell them would be correct, and if my parents would take it upon themselves to seek a proper medical opinion.
Please pray that he gets an accurate diagnosis quickly, and that he is back to his normal self soon.
Thank you!
