Last night my husband had a stroke.
He is in hospital and I am in and out helping care for him.
It has affected his right side. As of this time, the paralysis is mostly gone now, and a weakness remains. He says he feels like there is a boot on his foot all the time. He feels heavy on the right side from the top of his head to his foot.
Mobility is limited when walking and using his small muscles. He cannot write
If I was to do a specific prayer it would be for a speedy recovery.
God is good! It could have been much worse!
Thanks :)

Hi, Gorgeous!
You and your family will definitely be in my thoughts and prayers.
My prayer will be that whatever happens in your husband's recovery process that the Lord will give you and your husband the courage and strength to handle it.
Hang in there!

My daughter is a occupational therapy major and deals with people like your husband in her training. What is needed is training of the person to use a different part of his brain to relearn basic skills like eating and writing and walking. It is like a hard drive crash and all that data in that part of the drive is gone. Same for the human brain. If the memory of how to write was in the part of the brain that was damaged he or she must relearn the skill.
Prognosis is good for full recovery as long as another stoke does not occur.
Be of Good cheer Gail. Your husband will relearn all those skills with the help of a skilled occupational therapist.

Oh, Gail, I'm so sorry. Russ is too fit for that, being a Physical Education teacher and all. I pray that he has a speedy recovery and is able to be back to teaching soon.
