Mom had a stroke

So last night I walked into the kitchen and saw Jeanette lying on the ground on her left side, somewhat holding her head.

“are you ok?”

“yea, I just have a headache, can you get me an ice pack out of the freezer?”

“ok,”

I walked over and got her an ice pack

“Did you fall?”

“no, I got down to get ginger”

I suddenly realized her speech was slurred and handed her the ice pack which she put on her head.

“Can you move your left hand for me?”

Her right leg moved instead, her left hand was pinned under her leg a little bit.

“I need you to move your left hand for me, can you do that?”

“I AM moving my left hand”

“Ok, well you sit here for a minute and I’ll be right back.”

I ran upstairs and grabbed dad and we called 911.

When I re-entered the kitchen she kept saying something about Ginger but I couldn’t pick it up. It seemed to me that the slurring got progressively worse throughout the above conversation.

She is currently in the hospital and just had an MRI done. The neurologist is puzzled by all of this as she didn't have an warning signs or conditions that would have brought about this type of thing to happen. Please keep her in your prayers.
