KatieB Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 MODERATORS I NEED YOUR HELP..... For anyone who has send a request or e-mail the past three days, please forward all inquiries to moderators of the specific forum you need help in. Other issues can be posted to the board or to Rick at rick@lchelp.org I will be out of pocket for a while. I was talking to my very healthy and strong mom on Sunday when her speech became slurred and incoherent. A much long intense story later- and 4 consecutive strokes from her house and into the ER, my mom is in ICU fighting for her life- and quality of life. Shortly after rebounding from the 3rd stroke in ICU she seized and developed a 4MM brain hemorage on the left side of her brain and they didn't expect her to live thru the night last night...she did. They've never seen anyone survive that before. She is the strongest lady I know. It is still very touch and go for the next 24 hours and the extent of the permenant damage (which will be great I am sure) will not be known until the blood and swelling is gone in several days. I appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience by not being online. I will update when I can. Love, K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
