Update on my mom

All the tests determined that my mom had a minor stroke. Since we caught it at the beginning there seems to be no permanent damage done. Her left side of her mouth is still numb but they think with speech therapy she could regain control of it again. She was released from the hospital today and is now at home resting. She is bound and determined to make it to the hospital when Clayton is born on Thursday!

We are very relieved that she is ok and cannot wait to meet our new little man in less than 2 days!

Kristina- I am so sorry--but glad that you all were so proactive in taking your mom to the ER. If you have any speech therapy questions, feel free to ask. I treat stroke patients every day and am confident with early intervention that she will regain her oral strength.

Good luck with labor and delivery on Thursday. Can't wait to see pictures!!!!

Thank God they caught it early! I cannot imagine the worry. We will continue to keep you all in our prayers!

Didn't your Mom get the memo that she is indestructible?

I'm so glad you guys were so proactive. She'll be back to normal in no time!

Please give her a giant hug for me!
