My mom had a stroke in her eye and has some permanent vision loss now in her left eye. We are all worried sick about her.
She thought that she had a migraine and that the migraine was affecting her vision. She was planning on just staying in bed all day. It just so happened that my brother (an emergency room doctor) was in town for the day and when he saw her he knew that it was something more serious than a migraine and got her in right away. They are doing a bunch of tests now to figure out what caused this.
She could really use your prayers right about now. She is my very best friend and I just want her to be feeling good and for her health problems to be solved. Every second of my mom’s life is dedicated to helping everyone around her and doing anything she can to make us all happy… she is by far the best person I know.
I’m sure she would love some virtual hugs today and positive thoughts sent her way.
Thanks guys and I hope you have a great Thursday.

I don’t comment too often here but I know family health issues can be a really hard thing to wrestle with–it can make you feel so helpless when all you want to do is be helpful.
So sorry to hear about your mom and she’s truly lucky to have had your brother by her side in the time of need and even luckier to have her entire family caring for her now.
Thinking of you and your loved ones. Wishing a speedy and healthy recovery.

Gah, it sounds like your mom has some really difficult issues (her hearing and now vision loss). That sounds frightening and challenging and just plain hard.

I’m so sorry this has happened to your mom. The same thing happened to my father many years ago. He is doing well today- he just has to really watch his blood pressure.
