A Major Life Change for Mom
Yesterday my mom, Rita, suffered a stroke while attending church. She's got some paralysis on her left side, though some recovery from that has already been noted by the docs.
This changes everything, of course. While we'd been in the process of looking for assisted living for her, now we need services that go beyond what we'd imagined and planned for. The stroke seems to have profoundly worsened her short-term memory. Last night she didn't really know where she was (in the hospital). Tonight she's forgotten that she had a stroke. I basically had to remind her of everything that has happened to her.
We're praying that these effects will subside, and that we'll be able to find a place for Mom that is to her liking, and can meet her needs. The prayers of our friends and family are solicited and appreciated.
