The doctors reviewed the test results and told us today that that my mom had a slight stroke. So far her speech has returned and there seem to be no other side effects resulting from the stroke. The doctors want to keep her in the hospital for another day or two to observe her. Since she is already on a blood thinning drug, they aren't sure what other medications they will need to give her to reduce her risk of having another stroke. So they will confer with her oncologist and get back to us. They don't know what caused this stroke, but we are glad that we have some explanation of what happened to her.
Mom has also been compaining of some discomfort in her abdomen so they plan to do an ultrasound this afternoon.
Thank you all for your continued prayers and concerns.
I will do my best to keep this blog updated as we know more.

I really hate that your mom and your family is facing yet another trial, but many are praying for healing, strength and peace for all of you.
ReplyDeleteKathy, I'm thinking of you and the whole family. I'm so sorry for this latest news.I hope you feel all of our prayers, because so many of us are praying. I was making Company Quiche the other night and thinking of you fondly. I'm not much of a cook, but you managed to give me one recipe I can't mess up....except for a few pieces of egg shell that make it in there! I love you all! Em
ReplyDeleteKathy, I can't tell you how badly I feel about your setback. I am thankful that you made it through yet another obstacle but once again, you are a warrior (probably a very weary warrior) and you came through it and it is one more testimony. We are praying that you will quickie move past this and finish your treatments. I love you dearly sis.
ReplyDeleteHugs and prayers.
