[Miss Laura]

Hey guys I need people to reassure me. Tuesday night my Mum had a stroke. I witnessed the whole thing as did my Dad and we got such a fright. The ambulance took 30 mins to get to us which is poor timing. She got to the hospital with my Dad and was sent for a brain scan. She has a clot on her right side of her brain. She has no movement on her right side. I haven't seen her yet. My Dad and older Brother were there and my Twin Sister and I stayed at home. We couldn't do anything it's a waiting game. She was sent from A&E to a stroke ward. She is on 15 mins observations where they are testing her mobility etc. I stayed at my parents house with my Dad at night. We got home at midnight. I have literally had under 4 hours sleep as I can't stop crying. Every time I closed my eyes I saw my Mum and that set me off. She is only 61. She had a heart attack 4 years ago. She can only say yes or no. So she'll need therapy to rehabilitate her. It's calling round the family and friends we need to do. My Dad is in bits.

I never ever ask this but please pray for my Mum. I'm not religious anymore and I don't know if anyone is hearing my prayers or not.

Oh how very stressful and frightening Miss Laura! You are in my thoughts, and, though I don't pray much, this certainly qualifies for the trying. Will do.

Please post as much as you find helpful, ok?

I am so sorry. I hope your mom is okay. She is very young to have this happen to her. You are in my thoughts as well. Prayers and hugs coming your way.

Please keep us posted.

I've already said a prayer for your mum and will continue to.

Will keep your mum and you in my thoughts. Hope things improve quickly.

Sorry to hear that. My aunt had a stroke about 5 years ago and lost movement on her right side when it first happened. She's now 57.

Physical therapy has really helped her. While she can't move her right arm anymore, she is able to walk short distances with a leg brace. So I hope your mom will be able to walk etc. again. It's very much possible that she can regain mobility.

You are in my thoughts

Any update on your mum?

I hope your mom is improving, keeping all of you in my thoughts.
My dad had two strokes and made a full recovery both times after therapy so try to stay positive. Lots of positive thoughts coming her way.

God I pray for Laura’s mother, she is so very sick, God I pray for a total full recovery as she is your child and she is very precious, God I see your miracles daily in me and in others, you are truly alive. So I pray for full recovery for her mother in Jesus Christ name! Amen!

[Miss Laura]

She is really still the same. Can say yes and no clearly but other than that it's facial expressions. She keeps wetting herself a use she can't talk..... It's distressing for her as well as the family. They keep having to hoist her and change the bed and my Mum. Her motor skills are still limited. She is still in a mixed bay (men and women) hoping to move to the women's bay soon. She had another brain scan yesterday (Wed). So finding the results out today (Thurs).

Thank you for the update. Continued prayers coming your way. Please keep us posted. Thinking of you and your mum

It's a difficult time and challenging time for the family. Sending positive thoughts your way.

It's reassuring to see @fishin fool's update that people have completely recovered post a stroke. Stay positive and believe she is going to be better, she will be.

Hi guys another update...my Dad has just been to the hospital and the doc says she had a massive stroke which can occur at any time again. The prognosis isn't looking good at the moment. Mum is more alert today and has been moved to the women's bay. Going up soon to see her in a few hours.

Thanks guys I appreciate you all being here for me

Thanks for the update Miss Laura. Glad to hear she is more alert and has gotten to be moved to the women's bay.

How are *you* doing?

Continuing prayers/good thoughts coming your way. It's the holiday of Thanksgiving over here today, so I am giving thanks for your mum being more alert. Much to you and your family.

I'm ok it's took it's toll on me and I'm quite weepy have been since Tues. I can't handle the constant chat about the what if's. But it has to be done. I guess. I cried when I left my Mum tonight... It's just hard
