Leaking brain

My FIL went to the hospital and it turned out he had a stroke. He is fine no and it appears he has no lasting affects of the stroke.


When they first took him in and started doing some tests they found what they thought was "leakage on his brain". When Spirit overheard me on the phone telling someone this, he panicked. I later found him and Lefty whispering in their room. I asked what was going on and they both thought they were in trouble and said "nothing."


I quizzed them some more and found out that Spirit was concerned "grandpa won't be able to do math anymore." I asked why not and he said "Because his brain is leaking." I had a little discussion with both of them about how the doctor wasn't even positive there was leakage, but if there was any it is probably fine and that it might just be a little "ouchy" in the brain, like a cut or something. (yes I was making this stuff up) But I tried to reassure them that his BRAIN wasn't leaking out of his head or anything.


They both seemed ok with my lousy answer and after we found out that grandpa was going to be ok, then I was sure to tell them that grandpa was ok!
