Smirk My dad

Hi there, let me start by saying thank you all for all the stories you have shared and how happy i am to see so many people living clearly full lives with a CSF shunt.
With that said some of the stories have been positive and others have been less than positive towards flying with a shunt.
My major concern is that I have recently gotten engaged and are planning the wedding - My father has a shunt from a massive cerebral hemorrhage 7 years ago. He under went 7 major surgeries to unblock the shunt and has since recovered VERY well - if you didn't know that he'd had a CVA you'd never know anything was wrong. He has great memory loss to his short term memory and his common sense can be a bit off from time to time but other than that most things have straightened themselves out.
His BP is stable and holding.
SOOOO after that long lead up - my question is

We want to get married in the Grand Cayman Islands
Will he be OK to fly the flight from Toronto,ON, CA???

If you have ANY idea please let me know - like a website or number to call would be very helpful

thank you all very much
