| Hi All, again thank you..
Char is progressing well, I have been there pretty much 24/7 since the stroke and she finally gave me leave to go home.. at least till tomorrow morning..
decompressing and working my O's, when I came home first thing this morning to hose off.. I tried to beat the 1115 into submission and it just rumbled harder.. played the 12 for almost 2 hours, took a shower and went back up... daughters and grandkids started showing up again and the nurses said she's no longer in a risk condition so also ok'd my night away.
came home, had a package from Rothesay in the box, so got to install some Ivoroids on the 2771, Paul I'm gonna need another set... these are nice! but yep they do slip on the Pings, no biggie.
still a big empty here, but she's getting better and will be home soon,
again, thank you for the prayers and well wishes,.

Hi all,
Char's still inpatient, she's had a stroke over the past day or two, and is not in good shape and is being moved from the heart center to neurology, she's had an echocardio today so far, and is going down for another mri, and then another ct scan, the speech therapist has just left and has ok'd her to go back onto eating solids. as she's been on nothing but clear liquids for the past 9 days this at least made her feel a little better having some real food..
she's very aphasic, and has quite a bit of right-side paralysis and trouble speaking or staying focused..
prayers and well wishes appreciated.
Thanks,
Glenn |

Location: Texas | Opps sorry about that quote with no text - Glenn, I use to work with stroke patients and my mother also had a stroke in October. She was aphasic for a while also but she came back. The body is amazing with the way it can heal itself. I have worked with stroke patients in the past that I never thought would come around but they did - regained their speech and movement. The pressure on the brain is causing her problems - give it time for the blood from the stroke to absorbed and the pressure to be relieved - Hang on to that. My prayers are with you and Char |

| Char is being re-admitted to the hospital today, the stroke symptoms are progressing again, and she is unable to eat or keep anything in her system for any length of time due to nausea and incontinence. she is very weak, and the aphasia is increasing again...
I know you all are tired of me and this, and after today I probably won't be posting much....
but for those here that do care, your prayers are appreciated.
Thanks,
Glenn |
