Jeremy's Mom

Three weeks ago Jeremy's mom suffered massive stroke. The doctors were surprised she was even alive when she arrived at the ER because she had so much bleeding on her brain. When she was transferred to another hospital for surgery the neurosurgeon did a quick response check, lift your leg, touch my arm. Thankfully she was able to do as she was asked. (Later the surgeon told us that if she hadn't responded they wouldn't have done surgery and just let her die.) The surgery was successful in draining 40% of the blood and fluid off her brain. In ICU she had a tube in her head to drain off the rest and another hole to relieve the swelling. A few days later when they removed the breathing tube she could talk though it was hard to understand. She can move her arms and legs and now talks well, but she is still in the hospital because her movements are impulsive and sporatic and she can't stay focused in a conversation. We are so grateful Heavenly Father has taken such good care of her and allowed her to stay with us. After the initial scare, I think now is the most difficult part. Waiting, watching, and hoping she recovers completely and back to normal. Please keep her in your prayers.
