On November 25th, Carol, Dave's mom, had a stroke. She was at church when it happened, which was a blessing. The stroke was identified by her sister-in-law, who is a nurse and she called 911. She got into the hospital in time. They rushed her to surgery to remove the clot from her brain. She was on a ventilator for a couple days. Each day she gained more strength. Once she was stable, they moved her to the rehabilitation center. She impressed her therapists with her sweet attitude and hard working spirit. She will hopefully come home later this week. She has a long road ahead to regain words and comprehension, but she's strong and willing to work hard.
All her progress came in baby steps. She wasn't able to feed herself at first, but got stronger and was able to soon after this picture was taken. Dave has been a big help to his dad and I know Carol enjoyed his visits.
Carol with her grandkids. So glad to see that smile!
Cheerful as ever, but ready to come home.
