Ma

Today was the best day since 5/31/25. That Saturday morning, I was at work, my cell rang. I looked at it, it was Ma. She asked if I was home. I could tell by her response that I was at work that something was wrong. I asked her, she said suddenly she didn’t feel right. Her right arm and leg hurt and were “heavy” and she couldn’t pour herself a cup of coffee. I asked her if she was alone. She was. I told her to sit and I’d call her right back. I called my brother and he was working. I told him I’d call him right back. Get where he could talk to me. I called her, she said nothing had changed. I told her to hang up and call 911, which she did. I updated my brothers. The rest of the story is: she had a stroke, it was small, and only time would tell what her level of recovery would be. She was discharged 6/2 with home health. 

Fast forward to today. Everything is pretty much back to normal. Dr Igbokwe was very, very pleased with her progress. He said he doesn’t need to see her again, except as needed!! He told her she was ok to drive short distances and not to do anything that would risk falling, as she takes medication to hopefully prevent another stroke and could make her bleed more. 

I am so thankful the Lord spared her. I know many people who weren’t as lucky. Many people pass away from complications of stroke. Many others have life altering effects from stroke. There are also many others who have total or near total resolution of their weakness. My mom is one of the best women around. Always has been. She has always lived for the Lord. She’s been a faithful member of Stockholm Church as far back as I can remember. In recent years, health issues have prevented her from attending as regularly as she’d like. God does understand. He knows all about our struggles. 

Pray. 

Pray for all the things. 

Pray for the people in Texas affected by the flood. 

I love all y’all!❤️
