Seeking for prayers
-
Don't believe in any of those gods but best wishes. No one should have to go through that especially not at 32.

Sorry to hear, Nero - I worked for a year driving folks in an assisted living complex - some of them had had strokes,
I had to work very hard to learn to understand some of them - Hopes and Prayers from here, too. Sometimes life can be so fragile.

Well, miracles do happen.
The first three days she semt closer to death than life, and now she's fighting and getting better faster than anyone could have thought. Even the doctors are astonished.
She opened her eyes a few days ago, can look at people (though I think her stare is not 100% normal) has recovered control over all her extremities (slow and fragile, but improves as the days go), and can move her mouth and swallow on herself. She can breathe on her own though she went on a tracheotomy to assist her breathing at times (it's the normal procedure after so many days in hospital). I am not sure if she can speak but she surely can say words moving her lips (she started doing it today). Though everything I say she does takes a lot of effort for her.
She started rehab to recover muscle movements yesterday and they are going to scan her the coming week to analyze how much brain damage does she have.
Her relatives are optimistic and happy but cautious too. She's unbelievable.
We will keep praying for her and her family and I (and her family) am specially grateful for anyone who does it at the other side of the Atlantic Ocean too
Thank you very much for your time!

The power of Prayer coupled with her fighting spirit are as strong a combination as there is! God Bless & Prayers continue.

Hi guys.
Now that it's no-news season time in football, I think it's appropiate to give you an update on Marta.
She was discharged one week ago and is back home.
Her status is as follows: she has complete intelectual abilities and understands everything; she can't keep her eyes focused on people, has a lost stare, but keeps some sense of humor. She can walk but needs help to keep balance as she has none on her own, so she mostly goes on wheelchair.
She can eat but hasn't fully recovered her swallowing, so it's mostly purées for her I'd say, but can eat solid. She can barely talk and it's like she runs out of air when trying. The thing is that swallowing and relearning to breathe and speak are the processes that take the longest in these cases, so it's not surprise there.
Having her back home has given back some "normality" to familys life (daughters were most of the times at granparents') but it's a whole new battle from now on. An ambulance takes her to rehab every day so she's still progressing but this will be a long process and nobody knows when will she stop progressing.
Her family is happy but the one that struggles the most (for obvious reasons) is her husband. He takes care of her and is very caring (more than ever, actually) but suffers a lot. Anyway, he has still faith, hasn't given up and rests in his family, so there's something to be positive about.
Thank you everyone again for your prayers, we still pray for them to God, so she fully recovers and gives them strength in this battle, so we are grateful to anyone who joins us anytime

Of course, she & her loved ones remain in my Prayers. God Bless.

We vacationed in NC over the weekend, came back Monday. Graduation party for our close friend's son. Their friends, who go to their church, from their same neighborhood, also there. The husband is a paster/counselor who works with ptsd, family problems...
I bring it up because his 19 year old daughter had stopped at a stop light two weeks previous, at night, and a big pickup truck rammed into the rear of her car at high speed. The driver hadn't gotten stickers on his license for 4 years... he and his wife had to be high.
The truck rammed them, flipped up into the air, and rolled at least twice. The driver at first denied he hit her, then said it was her fault because she slowed down to stop at the redlight and was in his way. Her Dad was showing me the pictures of the accident, it was amazing she wasn't killed.
So, the rear of the car ended up crushed up into the rear seat of the car - lucky no one was in the back seat. Her head injury was significant - bad concussion, etc, whiplash. He drove 160 miles from a seminar...back to the hospital, that night...only knowing his daughter was in a very bad accident and had a serious head injury. The rear windshield actually was what hit her in the back of her head.
This pretty 19 yr old young lady came out of it, and was at the party, carefully having fun. She was joking here and there about the "staples in her head" and was really funny. She has a lot of healing to do, yet.
Could have been a stroke like Nero's friend - so tragic up front - . There is so much we tend to take for granted every day - until something happens that changes that.
Thanks for posting about it Nero. More prayers your friend gets back 100%.
