My grandfather had a stroke without being noticed for 3 hours

My father (who is separated with my mom, and is now living back in his ancestral home) noticed from outside the house that my grandfather's comfort room was lit. That was 2:30 pm. But he just ignored it because he was thinking maybe my grandfather was taking a shower or pee time. My grandfather by the way, is already 93 years old. He is already somehow weak, but he can still manage to walk but slowly and take care of himself. My aunt is also there to take care of his needs. But she is not being by his side 24/7 because he doesn't want somebody else to disturb him in his room. He has his own room and his own comfort room. At 4pm, my father again noticed the light from the comfort room. But he again just ignored it. But a question already came out from his mind why is he not seeing our grandfather coming out from his room when he is fond of watching tv at that time. But when he checked the living room, the tv was on so he was thinking maybe my grandfather just went back to the CR again. So he again ignored it because he was busy cleaning and trimming the backyard plants. At 5:30pm, my father already got worried because he has not seen my grandfather coming out, when it is already his meal time (Yes my grandpa eats that early). So he knocked the door of my grandfather's room. When he heard no response, he immediately called my aunt to get the door keys. When they opened, they saw our grandfather lying down at the shower room, naked and all wet because the shower was still on. They immediately helped him get up. Unfortunately 911 ambulance is not available so he called my cousin to get them to the hospital. CT Scan shows that there is a blood clot in his brain. He also had stroke. Good thing is he doesn't need to undergo surgery because the clot is in the brain canal. It can be treated with medication and just flush them out. But the doctor still cannot assure of his wellness because he is already very old. She cannot tell whether our grandfather can recover back normally. He is still in the ICU until now, and is being closely monitored. He is not declared in coma but he is always asleep. The doctor explained that the swell in his brain makes him fall asleep. And even if he is awake, he cannot open his eyes. he only responds through movements of his hands... I hope and pray our grandfather will recover quickly and live a normal life again. We do not want him to suffer in pain...
