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.
 
Prayer for successful recovery

Our Father who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be thy name,
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
On Earth as it is in Heaven,
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us,
And lead us not into temptation,
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

Has he had the Sacrament of the Sick? If not, please contact a priest ASAP and get that done! I’m sure I would want that if I were in his position!

God bless!
 
Carolyn, I’m so glad that your husband had immediate care following his stroke. I praise and thank God for that and for your husband’s recovery so far.
May God help you in the new skills you are developing as they will help you feel stronger and more capable. I can imagine…my husband is “take-charge”!

Loving God please give Carolyn the confidence that she requires,
and assist all those who are working towards his full recovery.
Please give him patience and hope as he cooperates with these efforts.
We ask Your kind blessings upon this couple.
Thank You our God
 
My husband is doing marvelously. His recovery is a miracle. He will require very little rehab. He is in rehab now and functioning almost totally normally. He has a tiny tremor in his right hand, his speech is totally recovered, he walks normally. And, in response to one of the posters, my husband did receive the Sacrament of the Sick in the Emergency Room. Our hospital chaplain “happened” to be right there and anointed him almost immediately. Wednesdays are his regular days at the hospital to anoint people, he had his stole and full kit with him! I have worked with stroke victims for 30 years as a nurse, and this is one of the fast recoveries of function I have ever seen for this type of stroke. His stroke was on Wednesday AM and by Fri PM he had recovered everything and was moved to rehab. I thank God for the amazing skill and quick action of our hospital stroke team.

His only problem is respiratory, he is on some oxygen and receiving resp. treatments every 6 hours. I am not sure, but I think he may have had some mild aspiration of his secretions when he had the stroke or when he was intubated. But there doesn’t seem to be any pneumonia, and this should clear up, and he is not having any problems breathing.

Thank you for all your prayers, and all praise to Our Lord Jesus Christ. And thanks to Saint Alfred Bessett (Brother Andre), and Father Solanus Casey and St. Joseph to whom I prayed for their intercession.
 
I am so glad to hear that your husband’s recovery is going well. I am praying that he has a complete recovery and for you as you take on new responsibilities during his hospital stay and recovery.
