a beacon of hope....
The last three weeks have been the kind of nightmare that you can't seem to shake. My mother,who has been suffering from dementia for the last two years, suffered a small stroke. This led to 3 trips to the ER,multiple batteries of tests, and a lot of rough days. Pretty early it was found out that she needed carotid surgery to open an artery in her neck. But when she was put on a blood thinner in preparation for surgery, it triggered a whole new set of complications that delayed that life saving procedure. In the meantime she continued to suffer these mini strokes at an increasing rate. Finally, she had the surgery this past week. But she has had some setbacks and is still very weak. She has a long road ahead but she is a fighter. Besides it's Christmas, the best time of year for miracles....
This is a view from the ICU waiting at Javon Bea Hospital in Rockford, IL. If I get the opportunity in the next 2 days, I want to wish everyone that blessed Christmas miracle this year...
