We got a call at 6 o'clock this morning, which you KNOW is never a good thing. Mike's mom had a stroke this morning! She was filling her water up to go work out, and dropped it. She tried to take a drink, thinking it might help her feel a little better, and water spilled out of the left side of her mouth. Then she fell to the floor, paralyzed on her left side. Luckily my sister in law (Rachel) was in the room, and called for her dad & brother to come help. They called 911, and gave her a blessing while they waited for the amublance. She was taken to Utah Valley Hospital, and just got out of surgery a little bit ago. They said she had the worse type of stroke you can have and survive. When they got in to remove the blood clot, the found that the tissue in her brain behind the clot was dead, and if they removed the clot it would cause more problems, so they left it in. The doctor said she will have swelling, and worse case scenerio it gets bad and she may die. We are all hoping and PRAYING for best case scenerio, and I just wanted to ask all of you to do the same. My mother in law is one of the best people I know, and so many people would be lost with out her. It has been hard to watch Mike, who doesn't really show emotion, struggle with this. His mom has been so many things for him, and I know he is devestated at the thought of losing her. There is not a person I know with more faith than Marcia, and I know she will come out of this shining, but it is scary none the less. Thanx!

Lindsey and Mike -
Your family is in my prayers. These things are so hard, and I understand your confusion and pain right now. I promise you that no matter the outcome, your mom is in the Lord's hands. He hears your prayers and loves you all deeply. Know that all things are known to him and that he is by Marcia's side, holding her hand even now. Be at peace and know that all will be well.
Love,
Ruth
I want you both to know that Marcia and your family will be in our prayers. Just Sat. morning my sister, Rachel, and I drove by and my sister was talking about what an Awesome lady Marcia is. I remember when we were told that my mom may pass on, the emotion I felt. I know how you want your children to know your mom, and praying and pleading with your Father in Heaven to find peace, but feeling so much confusion. Let Mike know that we love him.
Oh Linds - I'm so sorry. Of course I'll pray. Let me know if you need anything.
Lindsey- I am so sorry you guys have to go through this. You all will be in our prayers. Please call me if you need anything. We love you guys.
Oh I am sooo sorry! I will keep her in my prayers. Keep us posted on her condition.
We will keep you guys and Mike's mom in our prayers.
Thank you all for your support & prayers. I just went to see her, and it was so hard! Shows even more how precious life is, and we need to savor every moment.
