Hello everyone-
Very scary day over here. My 39 yr old wife suffered an instaneous, out of the blue headache this morning and collapsed. Apparently this is referred to as a "thunderclap" headache, and at the ER she later began exhibiting signs of seizure: right side of her body wouldn't respond, and she could not answer some basic questions- though later she told me that she knew the answers, but could not make her mouth form the words.
Nikki is now feeling better, and has recovered her speech and motor functions completely. They've ruled out aneurism,'hemorrageand stroke; However, the doctors have discovered 2 centimeter abnormality on her brain- either a tumor, or possibly a lesion (due to MS maybe?). We meet with several neurologists tomorrow morning and are at the hospital tonight.
If there are any freepers who could please send us your prayers, we are very much in need of them right now. God bless, and thanks in advance.
Prayers up!
See my own journal, My Sacral Chordoma for my own very serious bout with, treatment opf (several radical surgeries), rehabilitation and recovery from serious bone cancer in my lower spine.
God in Heaven loves you both, and His will shall be done, and either way, you will grow closer and influence others...and, through His mercy, may He preserve her for a long life with you.
God's speed and His blessings to you.
It’s a Blessing that someone was there when it happened.
Prayers for all of you in this scary time. Try to not let fear take hold, know that the Lord hears us, and His Holy Angels stand beside you.
Prayers lifted for you and for your lovely wife.
Hang on tight and remember we are here for you.
May our tender Lord hold you close as you deal with this sudden illness.
Amen
Mills, Our youngest had migraines, then as a teen had some other strange symptoms. An MRI showed spot on his brain described as a lesion, but fortunately the Neurologist said “NO” that it was just a spot of “old” damage and not causing his problems. Long story short...his brain was fine and it was his heart causing his problems. It is a hole called a PFO, Patent Foramen Ovale. Actually, they are very common and the hole patch is relatively easy compared to so many other things. Just mentioning this.....hoping and praying for her and all gets figured out.
Mills, Forgot to mention...Our son temporarily lost his ability to speak and lost control of one of his hands while at school.
Since the patch was put in about 7 years ago, I don’t think he has experienced another migraine.
Prayers up.

Our Care Group met tonight and offered up prayers for you and your wife and the doctors treating her. God is always near and will hear our prayers on your behalf.
I will pray for you and your dear wife, Mills. Keep up hope though-My aunt was found to have 3 brain tumors some months ago. She had rounds of chemo and now they are GONE. God Bless!
Will do.
Will do.
Prayers up for your wife and self.
Prayers for the doctors who act
