My Mom

Dad took mom into the hospital Sunday night. She had been acting a little strange and then her face started drooping on the right side. They have determined that she had a light stroke. She is doing fairly well, no physical damage. She seems confused at times and is having a hard time finding the words that she wants to use when speaking. Can't think of the correct name for people and different items.
Dr. had more tests ordered yesterday, a MRI and an ultra sound of her arteries in her neck. Hope to find out the results of these tests today when the Dr. comes back in. We are just waiting to see if they can find out what caused the stroke and what can be done to prevent any more from happening. Dad has not left her side. Has a little chair in the room that folds out into a bed that he is sleeping on at night.
I went over yesterday after the kids went to school and plan to go over again today. Allen's plant is shut down today because of a broken water main, so he has the day off and is planning on going with me. I will take the laptop today so that I can post any new news that we may get.

Sorry to hear this, Sharla. Thinking of you all... and hoping for improvements in your mom's condition. Glad you are free to be with her.

If I'd checked my blog feeds a bit sooner today, I wouldn't have been so shocked by this news on f/b this afternoon. Sure hope things go along in a positive direction. I can just see your dad... Big big hugs!
