It seems I am requesting prayers a lot anymore, things are not going well.

My husband suffered a stroke Tues. morning. He is in the intensive care unit at the hospital where I work. Praise God, this hospital is a Stroke Center, and their rapid intervention saved his life. He was totally paralyzed on his right side, but now is able to move it almost normally. He does have some speech deficits, though, which hopefully will improve over time. He still is in critical condition, but doing well. Please pray for him and his recovery. Also, I need prayers because I will be managing the home front now, and some things I have no clue about. He’s always paid the bills, took care of the vehicles, done household repairs,etc., now these things will be my job and I’m a little apprehensive. However the important thing is his recovery, I can muddle through the rest. Thank you all for your prayers.
 
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known, that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of Virgins, my Mother. To thee I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.

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.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!
 
Dear friends,

I am nearly crying from joy as I write this. My husband’s recovery has been nothing short of miraculous. They are moving him to rehab tonight. This is less than 72 hours after his stroke. When I went to the ICU today he was sitting up in a chair, was able to walk, and his speech and language showed 100% improvement. He has regained almost total use of his right side. He passed his swallowing studies and was able to eat some lunch. The entire staff is totally amazed at this, and, besides praising the stroke team, they are attributing this to the power of prayer. They are giving God His due glory. This is a Catholic hospital I work in, and they are showing it. I have had countless people come up to me and tell me how they have been praying for my husband, and what a miracle this all is. I am extremely grateful for all your prayers here. I will keep you posted.
 
That is wonderful news! I’m continuing to pray for you and your husband.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, we fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, our Mother. To you do we come, before you we stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word incarnate, despise not our petitions but, in your mercy, hear and answer us. Amen.
 
Thanks be to God! I will pray a Rosary for you and your husband.
