As some know already
Rocco Barham was taking by ambulance to Rochester strong
For a hemoratic stroke .
He is on a ventilator because he can't breath on his own .
He is in surgery now they are putting a Stent in his head to release the pressure and control the bleeding .
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers
The next 48 hours is crucial. Praying for little things .
when little things mean so much !My people,
Please say a prayer for our friend (everybody’s friend) Rocco Barham. He had a hemorrhagic stroke yesterday and is at Strong in ICU. He has had surgery to put in a stent where the hemorrhage occured and they are still testing, looking for where the bleeding is coming from. He is unable to breathe on his own, sedated, and on a ventilator.
Please pray the doctors are able to figure this out quickly, and get this under control and come out of this his normal, crazy, funny self, back to his wife Mina Barham so he can annoy her, and p**s her off on a daily basis (this is their love language 😛), his daughter Raquie who he loves more than life and his Momma Sara too.
If you know Rocky, you know he would do anything for anybody, please do what I ask of you for him and his family. Pray 🙏 🙏 🙏 Prayers, and good thoughts create a powerful energy that can move mountains. Move this mountain!
Thank you everyone for kind words and prayers

Please pass along so everyone is kept updatedThey didn't take him and open up his head like we thought. They opened it up just enough to get the syringe in and take the blood clots out so the brain can swell. Doing a cranial catscan at 9. I will call the dr at 11 for updates

Today's was very tough
Morning was hopeful
As rocky was moving his right side thumbs up when asked and foot toe wiggle .
As the day progressed
They decided that the bleeding pressure and blood pressure was highly dangerous .
So they took him for a emergency cat scan
And I think a angeogram .
They decided at that point he had to have more surgery to get the blood out to give the brain more room to expand naturally (which is what I'm told happens after a brain injury ) they took him down for emergency surgery to open the head up on the right side and took syringe to suction all the blood and clots out !
They brought him back to room 4 hours later .
We all got to see him for a few seconds and then visiting time was over .
*they checked his pupils and he pulled his head away and his right arm went up ( but remeber its still tied to the bed frame )
Right foot too was moving
We are hopeful As we can be at this point its all a waiting game .
He has a cat scan again at 9 pm tonight im calling soon to see if anythg has changed
