delld Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Yesterday morning my best friend's girls (in college) asked me to come down to stay with their mom while they went to the doctor to have staples removed. She didn't feel well. Of course I said sure, I'll be there in 15 minutes. When I walked in their mom , my best friend, was not "right". I asked her the questions and then raced to the ER. They identified a possible stroke, gave her the medication for stokes that there is only a 3 hour window that it can be given and then transferred her to Jacksonville to the large hospital there, as our local could not provide for all her needs. I checked this morning and they still have her in ICU but she is doing very well. Please keep her in your prayers, Her name is Kathy and here is the list you need to know! Hope you all have a very Safe and Healthy New Year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delld Posted December 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Thanks Heidi and Julie. The girls came by and gave me a report. There is some memory problems and she doesn't remember a lot about yesterday but she is doing good. They did a bunch of test today and should have the results tomorrow. Kathy wants to come home. She is still in ICU. Thanks again for the prayers. Please remember these signs of a stroke so you can help your love ones too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heritage Keepsakes Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Wow Dell, good thing you were in the right place at the right time for your friend. Glad to hear your friend is home and doing well. Thanks for the reminder on acting F A S T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekah Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Dell, how wonderful that God placed you in the right place at the right time and thank you for posting the list. I wish Kathy a quick and complete recovery. Finally, 7 months after my stroke in May, I am not losing words in the middle of sentences and forgetting people, places and things. If she still has memory problems, tell her to just give it time and let her know we are still praying for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
