Prayers needed...

[1Parker1]

Well, its been about three and a half weeks since my sister suffered the stroke. A few days after her stroke she got worse and the doctors had to do an emergency surgery to save her life. They told us she might not make it through. We believed God that He would bring her through the surgery just fine. Well, she did make it through. She started to recover well after that surgery. A week after the surgery she had a minor setback with the blood clot the doctors found near her lung. They advised us she needed to have a filter inserted her leg to prevent the clot from moving and to prevent anymore clots. My sister made it through that procedure because of God's saving power and mercy. Its been two weeks since that procedure, but it seems like its been two months.

My sister has recovered in a major way. She speaks fine. She can move all her right side. There is no bleeding near her brain and the swelling has gone down. She is alert and oriented. She has sat up and has been able to sit in a chair for two hours. She has laughed and joked recently. Today she drank her first glass of water since the day she had the stroke. All I can say is Praise God.

I want to thank all of you for your prayers. I pray that God blesses all of you 100 fold. I know she wouldn't be here if it weren't for your prayers. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I'm really glad everything worked out! See? I told you it would!

Great to hear the encouraging signs of her recovery. She sounds like a very strong and determined woman. My thoughts and prayers are with you, her and the family. I'm sure she'll be kicking ass in rehab real soon.

Well, its about two months now since the stroke. My sister is still in the hospital, but is doing great. She has come a long way. She is able to eat and drink on her own. She is eating a lot more than when she first started to eat. She is even making requests as to what she wants us to bring her to eat. We have to watch what we bring her though because of her diet.

She has feeling on her left side, but does not have the strength to move her left side. She is doing exercises just about everyday at least three times a day. She says she feels like little by little she is getting stronger. She went outside for the first time since the 4th of July this past Friday. She loved it. She went out on a wheelchair and has gone outside everyday this past week. She says its very hot, but happy she gets to see something else other than her room.

She has made huge progress and has not had any setbacks. This is all thanks To God and to all of you who have thought and prayed for her. The next step we want to see is to see her sit up and stand on her own. I know she can do it. She has come a long way and there is no turning back now. I just want you guys to keep praying. Thanks to all of you. God Bless you all!
