Christine is resting now here at VUMC. She had a stroke on Wednesday. The surgeon who performed the surgery to remove the blood clot in her brain referred to it as a "massive stroke". Most of her right hemisphere was compromised and now she has paralysis on her left side. The doctor said that the next 48-72 hrs. will be crucial to her recovery. He seemed to think that she will experience swelling in her brain. This could be fatal. However, thus far she is stable and has not shown the signs of a deteriorating condition. Unfortunately, they have located two more clots in her body. One clot is in her right leg, the other is in her left arm. We are praying for a miracle.
Your prayers are appreciated.
Jeff
