My Mother is Very Sick…
Dear Readers,
As those of you have been following my blogs may remember, my mother had major surgery in July. The surgery was needed to undo a major blockage in one of her arteries. Anyway, at first the surgery seemed to have done a great deal of good. This was a tremendous relief as Mom had been having minor strokes due to the blockage.
It seems the surgery didn’t do enough. Mom has had several more minor strokes. She’s been very ill. And today, after yet more and more and more tests, we found out that one of the minor strokes was in fact a major stroke. Her entire right side is affected. She’s having trouble with balance, speech and a number of other issues. Now, I don’t mean to imply that’s she’s paralyzed or dumb. But she is very weak on that side. The minor strokes are still coming, and we’re going to have to go through more tests and maybe another major surgery.
To top it all off, the first surgery will apparently take six or more months to recover from and this is complicated by the fact that she’s still having “mini-strokes” which I think are also called TI’s.
This is the reason that my blog posts have been off their normal schedule or missing entirely on at least one or two days. Please bear with me, as I am doing my best to get everything back on track. In the meanwhile, you may see a lot of short posts and YouTube videos. This post is for the 28th and 29th of August, in case I miss more after this.
Oh, and Mom wanted me to let all you know that she really appreciated your thoughts and prayers last time. J So did I.
Thanks,

She’ll have those prayers again … as will you.
