thoughts for my mom

[quesarah]

Yesterday my mom had a mild stroke. There's no bleeding, and no immediate concerns for her well-being. She's lost some function on her right (dominant) side and is having a bit of trouble forming words. But so far, her deficits are small and she can probably go home soon. The worrisome thing at this point will be figuring out how she and my dad, who is disabled, are going to function day-to-day. But that's something the logistics of which my siblings and I will need to discuss.

I will be in Ohio this weekend to see her and talk with my sisters. If you believe in such things, please send vibes/energy/prayers to Mom and Dad.

Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear about this. Please let me know if there's anything I can do. When are you coming in?

Tomorrow afternoon, leaving Sunday. Mom's up at University Hospital in the stroke center, but she may come home shortly. Carol stayed with Dad last night, and someone will need to be around the house to help with day to day stuff. I'll let you know if there's anything needs done, Sid.

I informed the Lads. Give us a call if you need anything. I'll try to call you at your folks' place as well. Safe flight.
