Last Monday night my Mother in law was taken by ambulance to the hospital, after becoming violently ill and becoming unconscious. She was sent home the next day, with no diagnosis . Friday came and she was still complaining of a headache. Being the strong fighter that she is, she thought maybe she just needed to go for a run. ( she runs at least 5 miles a day.) Marcus's older Sister Kristen was definitely in tune with the spirit that day as she insisted that they go back to the Hospital. After arriving a cat scan was done and the Dr found blood on the brain. Noting that he had never seen someone in that condition still conscious(she's a fighter)She was rushed to St Joesph Barros neurological center in Phoenix. She soon became unresponsive. They found 2 brain aneurysm that had ruptured. The surgery was successful but we have been told the next 2 weeks are very critical, there will be ups and downs. We have had some scary moments through this all but she continues to fight. The recovery will be long but she's a fighter."I think she only knows how to be a fighter, she's always had to be" Marcus said to us all after the invasive surgery. We are all very hopeful and she has passed every test the nurses and doctors have asked her to do. They continue to wake her up every hour to try to have her respond. The doctors have told us that it is very important that we continue to be there for her to keep her brain activity up, and we have started some music therapy. All of her children have been able to be there at some point. We are now back in California but will continue to go down on the weekends. This will be a long road and I ask for your prayers as she continues to fight.
Nana,
I can't wait until you can come visit me. We can go to Disneyland, and we can go to the beach and build sandcastles together.
Love,
Ethan
