Our dear Judith had a stroke on the right side of her brain that has affected the left side of her body. Many thanks to Marsheena (her roommate) for finding her and saving her life!
She was likely on the floor for several hours. This long period of time resulted in her stroke taking its full effect. It was too late for any drugs to reverse the process, and the nurse said all that could be done at this point is palliative care.
Judith wears a Life Alert with Fall Protection, religiously. Unfortunately, she had put the device on the charger that morning and was not wearing it when she had the stroke and fell.
She has several other conditions that are being treated, but we are expecting her to be able to make small and steady advances toward getting better.
I will regularly post general updates to this site, letting everyone know how she is doing, what facility she is in, etc.
Feel free to text or call me if you have further questions.
