Dear Freepers
Basil, suffered a stroke in early January. It left her paralyzed on her right side and unable to speak. She's got very limited speech and her mental faculties are diminished. She spent many weeks in a therapeutic hospital but when it became apparent that her condition wouldn't improve, our family decided she'd be much happier at home. Hopefully we can minimize her suffering and keep her comfortable. Please pray for her, and Mr. Basil who is an amazing care giver and hasn't left her side.
FReepMail for you...
Your family is in our prayers.
May God bless basil, keep her and heal her of this affliction. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Please pray for basil.
PING!
Prayers up. She’s a fine lady.

Prayers for Basil and “Mr. Basil”.
I served with “Mr. Basil” in the 60s, with the U.S.A.F Honor Guard, Washington, D.C.
You are blessed with one of the world’s greatest moms. Basil is truly a FReeper treasure. Here’s asking God to be at her side ... and yours.

Met her at a Sore-Loserman Freep. Prayers for her.
Many prayers for Basil and her family. May God Bless you all with strong faith and much strength to prepare you for whatever is His Will in this situation.
There’s no shortage of misery in this world, but I swear that strokes in older folks are the worst, even when compared to my spinal cord injury at 62 yes old. God bless the caregivers. Where would we be without them? SOL, that’s where.
Thank you for letting us know. Your mother will be in my prayers.
May the Holy Spirit be with Basil and her family.
