It all changed on Friday, August 20, 2010 at 7:15 pm. While waiting to be discharged from the hospital for a minor stroke, my husband Brent, suffered a stroke in the left side of his brain. He was rushed for a CAT scan then went to ICU. He has been there since and as of this evening is still sleeping the majority of the time. There was some minor swelling of his brain, but nothing that required surgery---that's a good thing.
He is paralyzed on the right side of his body. Communicating is an experience right at the moment. He can say "Yep", "No" and then some other stuff we have yet to translate.
This blog will allow us to update everyone on his progress as we pick up the pieces of our lives. There will be ups, downs and everything in between. This is our way of healing our lives. It will be done through honesty, laughter and tears.
