My Dad had an attack last wednesday...

It was 6am in the morning, time for fajr, but i was still in bed and my alarm would usually ring at tht time but if i dint wake it would snooze for another 15mins.. Suddenly i heard somebody banging hard on my door... I woke up immediately in a state of shock and found my mother crying and yelling "your father fail down in the toilet and fainted and i tried to pick him up and i cant come fastttt" and she was crying and shouting non-stop and i rushed down with her to find my Dad seated on the stairs...... On hearing my Mom yelling so hard somehow my Dad woke up and managed to walk upto the stairs and he was shouting to Mom asking what happened....
He did'nt even realise that he had fainted in the toilet and because he couldnt hold himself upstraight he sat on stairs and was calling out to Mom asking what happened, why was she shouting so much...
My mom calmed down a bit and as my Dad tried to stand up he was about to fall again.. Lost his consiousness and was a bit stiff too, i held him tightly and picked him up and slowly laid him down on his bead and Mom started yelling all over again in fear.. I put a pillow under his head and planned to call the ambulance right away but somehow, alhamdulillah he was back to his senses and stopped me from callin the ambulance..My mom was still crying... By the way he hates hospitals and doctors and is scared of needles big time.. No wonder am scared of needles too..LOL..
So there he was lying on the bed a with a few minor brusies on his body (due to the fall in the toilet) and refusing to go to the hospital not even allowing us to check his blood sugar level...(fear of needles again).. Somehow we convinced him and check his blood sugar level and it was 265 something and the normal is suppose to be around 120..
My Mom suffers from diabetes too and she also has thyroid problems and has already gone though a number of surgeries..hence a little tension or depression messes up her health, but some how she was going thru all of this and running up and down the stairs, trying to pick my Dad in the toilet during which she fell down herself too...Subahanallah..I actually was more worried about her then my father....
Then my Mom asked me to make some almond milkshake for dad, he drank, took a tablet to reduce his blood sugar level and said tht he would like to sleep and he'd be better, inshallah..
However my mom wasnt too convinced and at 10 am she called my uncle and we had some breakfast and took him to the hospital.. There we met a neurologist who wrote all kinds of tests for him ( EEG, ECG, Blood Test, Urine test etc) and found that everything was pretty okay except the blood sugar level which had now increased to 295...Well we finally concluded that because he was'nt regular in his eating and sleeping habits and was'nt interested in taking tablets on time either, this may have happened... But the doctors said that if it happens again then they may need to do the MRI...
Though he dint faint again but he's not been feeling too gud for the past couple of days.. I hope inshallah he shall recover soon....
May Allah swt have mercy on my parents as they did bring me up when i was jst a kid...inshallah..
