Hi there. I’m replying to my own post from a few weeks ago to give an update and another prayer request.
My sister was in the icu for several days and began to improve after having stroke-like symptoms (weakness on one side, slurred speech, vision problems, etc) from the growth on her brainstem. She was then moved to a rehab center to begin two weeks of physical therapy to strengthen her body for surgery. After four days, she was moved to a neurological unit of a major hospital because when the growth swells or bleeds, the neurological problems return and this happened for several days in a row.
She will have surgery to remove the growth tomorrow (8/11) morning and it will be a multi-hour surgery. Please pray for a miracle that her motor skills, vision, and speech are not greatly affected. That she is completely healed. That there are no complications during the surgery or any long-term issues. All she wants in life is to be a good mom to her four daughters and a good wife. I’m praying for her to be able to be back singing, dancing, and playing with her girls as soon as possible.
Y’all were so kind with my last post and I believe in the power of prayer so if you could keep her and her surgeon and his team in mind tomorrow morning, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you!
