Stroke Victim Needs Prayer

December 17th, 2009

Attack!

I am really sorry for not posting this yesterday. I got caught up in cooking for the church, and I have had to work on family business, and it just got away from me.

You may recognize my name – “Kyle” from comments on your blog.

My sister in law Jade had a stroke this past Friday night. 33 years old.

It’s a freak thing caused by not cholesterol or blood clots or anything like that, but an odd flaw in a blood vessel. The vessel had multiple layers at one point just feeding into the jugular, so it was trapping blood and built up pressure until it burst. A fragment of the vessel was driven up the jugular into her brain.

She is in ICU and they are testing her respiration tonight to see if she is able to breathe on her own.

Also, the swelling is basically at its peak, and they are going to be taking her off sedatives to test her responses as thoroughly as possible to get a diagnosis as to where we stand.

Her left lobe was affected, so the right side of her body has been minimally responsive, although we’ve seen some decent movement a few times over the past two-three days.

Let’s show this illness what God can do in response to prayer.

    Thank you, everyone. Swelling just passed its peak and is beginning to reduce, she is off sedation, and we’re seeing better responses.

    Please continue praying for her. We are in this for the long haul.
