Mom Update
As some of you know, my mom had a hypertensive hemorrhage. She had a really bad headache and when my dad came home from walking the dog, she had stroke-like symptoms. He called 911, they took her to the hospital only to find extreme bleeding in her brain stem. They sent her to Sunrise Hospital where they have a neurological unit and did brain surgery. She had tubes coming out of everywhere (breathing tube, drainage tubes, iv's, etc.) not to mention part of her head was shaved. It was so scary! I've never had anyone close to me have something like this happen. But my mom is strong-willed and is improving every day. She has a speech therapist, an occupational therapist and all sorts of other people helping her get better. She is re-learning to walk and trying not to get dizzy. Thanks to all those supporting her, praying for her, and visiting her (she still LOVES to talk). Get well soon!

Hey guys, geez Michael I just talked to you for 30 minutes today and you didn't say anything about this. I hope Heather's mom is doing well. Heidi worked at Sunrise for a few years and she always talked about how great their neurological unit is so hopefully they have been able to help out. Well keep praying for you, take care of yourselves.
