Zilla went to ER

Hey, everybody.  I had Dr's appointments today and came home to a phone message that 'Zilla.  She had been having increasing fatigue for the last week or so.  Today her left side became too weak to hold her up, her new internist couldn't see her.  She went to the ER, CT scan was clear for stroke.  The ER doc took a history and immediately began her on high-dose Solumedrol --THEN called her new neurologist.  First thinking was Transverse Myelitis or acute MS attack.  Then the left side of her face started to droop.  Transverse myelitis would NOT cause the facial thing.  

She has been admitted to the hospital.  She's feeling okay, still a little scared from the sudden loss of function, but relieved that she is being taken VERY seriously now.  Her neuro will visit her tomorrow.  Then we'll know any further plans.  Her husband drove in from out-of-state and is with her.  He sounds exhausted.

That's the news.

I am running short of energy myself.  I'm going to try and nap, then see if I do a few posts.  We have a lot of new people showing up, so I always appreciate your help in greeting and talking.  We have a lot of active topics right now that I really want to talk about.

Send up the prayers and thoughts for 'Zilla

Oh blessed Lord, here my prayer for Momzilla and her family.  Be with her father and give her the strength she needs to fully recover.  Let her feel the arms of every one of us around her at this time, when she needs us the most.

God be with you Zilla.  We will keep praying.  Oh Heavenly Father hears our cry's.

Prayfully,
Heather
