Yesterday The Hubby's side of the family gathered at out house for Easter lunch. The day was just a beautiful day. The weather was perfect and our yard a spectacle of spring color. Our little Min-Min even called my mother-in-law Mimi. We finished our meal and were all sitting out on the porch when our youngest noticed that Gloria was acting odd, trying to pick up her napkin and having no success. Af told the bro-in-law who was sitting next to Gloria to check on her. We all quickly knew absolutely that she was having a stroke, a massive stroke. The Hubby called 911 and I guess the ambulance was close because they were there in less than a minute and had her loaded and whisked off to the hospital in less than 5 minutes. OMG, everyone was so scared for her. Poor little Snicklefritz was terrified but we did a lot of hugging and talking to help her. It was truly a scary site, especially for the children, my granddaughters and the nephews.
She had surgery last night to grab the blockage out of her brain because even though it was still the golden hour since the incident she was on a blood thinner, Zarelto, and it doesn't play nice with the blood clot busting medicine. In fact her blood was so thin that IV's would not stay in. That's kind of scary.
We know that her life will not be back to any kind of normal ever again. She will go to rehab and they boys will have to look into moving her from her apartment to the assisted living part of where she lives, that is a guarantee.
Please send prayers for her.
