Last Sunday, my wife collapsed in the church parking lot on the way to Mass. She was unresponsive for a minute, or so. We went to the doctor within the hour and it was initially diagnosed as some kind of a seizure. My wife and daughter noticed shaking, but I was apparently looking at her face too closely to notice. Afterwards, she also commented on half of her body feeling numb, but she did pass the stroke tests at the doctor’s office. We had the MRI this week, and they have found a (possible) small tumor in the frontal lobe. If it’s not a tumor, the message indicated that it may be damage caused by a small stroke. (We have asked for an MRI in the past for issues, but the doctor declined–attributing some symptoms to stress-related issues.) Not only would I greatly appreciate prayer for my wife, but I’d appreciate prayer regarding my own anger towards the doctor—who announced these results via e-mail shortly before leaving for a long weekend.

If anyone out there with a medical background might also shed some light on treatment options, any general thoughts or shared experience would be appreciated. Thank you.
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen
 
I am so sorry to hear this news about your wife. I will most certainly keep her in my prayers and rosaries and you as well. As for doctors, well, they can be a challenge. Hopefully you’ll find the right one. I will pray that the Holy Spirit will guide to the proper physician. I will also ask St. Luke, the Physician, to intercede on your behalf. All will be well.

Blessings,
Judi

Dear Friends:

We just wanted to share with everyone the latest regarding Kimberly’s health–as well as a serious thank you all for the prayers. Thank God for good news! We spent an hour and a half talking with the neurologist this evening. To make a long story short(er), the doctor believes that Kim suffered a small stroke. This might have even taken place in her sleep. The stroke caused a lesion to form in this (non-critical or quiet) area of the frontal lobe. In turn, it’s believed that the lesion then resulted in that seizure in the church parking lot last month. Small areas of stroke damage like this usually heal with no complications. The doctor says that there is only a 5% chance, or so, of her suffering another related stroke. She started aspirin therapy tonight to try to mitigate this threat a bit in the short term.

While, the doctor can’t say with absolute certainty that it is not a tumor, she is quite confident that it is only a lesion (blocking but non-leaking) based on its characteristics as seen on the MRI. Even if it is found to be a tumor, however, the size and location would not make it life threatening. That it is not life threatening is really the most important news to take away tonight.

So, for the next couple of weeks, Kimberly is going to be put through many, many tests before we leave for Dallas, Texas later this month. The tests will range from blood work (testing for about a page worth of things) to a second MRI and a new EKG. These tests will try to determine the root cause of that initial stroke–e.g. her hypertension.

We just wanted to thank everyone again for their prayers, and wish you all a wonderful and meaningful Christmas. We’re looking forward to visiting the lights of the Grotto in Portland this Saturday, and we’re thankful for the opportunity to really experience Christmas this year–instead of being caught up in worries. God bless!
