Everyone, my mother suffered something like a stroke yesterday. We are not sure yet what happened. The CT scan showed nothing abnormal, so she will be having an MRI this morning. She currently has impaired cognitive function.
ReplyDeleteI am headed back to the hospital soon (my sister stayed there all night after flying back into town on the first flight back she could get).
Kari wrote our roundup, even though it was my turn, and I can't tell you enough what a good friend she is. My fellow bloggers are a caring bunch of friends. Please go read their posts!
I'll put up a progress report on Mom later.
Charlestongirl,
ReplyDeleteYour post reminded me of what is truly important in life...and the transitory nature of life itself. I will be thinking about you and your mom today while I am on the sales floor - trying to make people feel a little bit superficially better about themselves by selling them a new lipstick! You never know why a customer comes in for help - the other day, I had a husband and wife come in for some cosmetics for the wife, and the husband was grouchily joking with her about the price, and the look she gave him was pure love. She whispered to me that he was going in to the hospital the next day for triple bypass surgery....and she wanted to look good in the Cardiac Care unit for the long hours and days of waiting by his side. I threw in a ton of little travel sizes and samples in the bag and told her that I understood, and wished them both the best. Sometimes the little things can help get you through an awful time.
Good luck, and God Bless.
Charlestongirl,
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about your blog. We all understand that the very last thing you need to be doing at this time is blogging. Hopefully, though, you'll find a bit of time to read the good wishes and heartfelt concern that we are sending your way and know that our prayers are with you, your sister, and your mom.
Those thoughts and prayers worked! Mom did not have a stroke, and she started to recover this afternoon. The CT scan and MRI cleared her of stroke, so they are now sure that an incredibly high blood pressure caused the brain tissues to start to shut down. The symptoms are much the same as stroke.
ReplyDeleteShe has made a remarkable recovery this afternoon and just finished eating lunch! With vigor. We need to figure out what/how this happened, but the outcome so far is fabulous.
Thank you again for all your sweet messages.
I am really happy for you that your Mom recovered- hope everything is for the best, now she will get preventive treatment, most probably.
ReplyDeleteI'm very relieved for you and wish her continued good health.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Miss Brahms, Eileen, Liliana, and Marcia! I'm so relieved - and tired. :)
ReplyDeleteCharlestongirl, I'm so glad your mom is improvimg! I'm sendimg good thoughts her way for that happy trend to continue.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear of your mom's recovery - - - you're lucky to have her around! When I lost my mom, I felt like I'd finally grown up (or maybe, HAD TO grow up!).
ReplyDeleteHugs and all the best for all of you - -
Thank you, Liz and Leigh!
ReplyDeleteWe took her home last night. On today's agenda is: 1) buying a better at-home BP device, and 2) getting her in to see her doctor.
She was a little forgetful and confused when we went home. I'm not sure what that's about, except that I know that happens to the elderly when they have been taken out of their normal environment/routine for a few days.
