Update on My Mother

I heard from 3 people today about how my mother is doing. If you have prayed for her - thank you!

She definitely had a stroke. The doctors and hospital did all sorts of tests. As my sister told me, God was very good - there are a few 'white spots' in her brain, but the damage is apparently very minimal. The main thing is her arm, specifically to her hand.

Peter wrote and said she is insisting that she will come home today and my Dad was planning on picking her up after church this afternoon. She was talking fine, thinking fine, walking as usual, etc. She even squeezed his hand with her affected hand and told him she would be crocheting again by the end of the week. Somehow, knowing both my parents, I think she really will be. Peter said if he had not known before he went in the room, he would have never guessed anything had happened.

So - again - if you prayed for my mother - Thank You!

She is on blood thinning medication. Heidie tells me that she will probably be seeing the doctor a lot over the next few weeks or months, getting this all figured out. For now, I just thank God she is still alive and in such wonderful shape.

Wow! As we say here in Ukraine: Слава Богу! Praise God!
