First of all I feel sorry for your father. The most important step is too see the neurosurgeon but U have to control his blood pressure and find out the cause of TIA? Does he got atrial fibrillation or anything else? Since he has got the right sided pareparesis u have to exercise the paresis side so that contractures do not develop...But tell me what other cardiac problems you father have?what is his current BP and what medications is he using nowadays.
Regards,
Dr. Majid Khan.
