    Well, I resisted bringing this into the forum's eyes simply because times are soo hard I did not wish to see anyone burdened even slightly with my own troubles.

    However, that is prideful, and at this point I'm spiritually desperate so if those who would offer some prayers, kind thoughts, and maybe a candle for my Mother's healing I'd be deeply greatful that is not talking to the air, prayer and kind thoughts work and the more that are offered, the more hope I'd have for her recovery.

    Mom's name is Bette with an "e" not a "y", anything folks feel led to do will be appreciated.

    Thanks Bro, and to everyone, she is having an MRI today and that will reveal what is going on, hopefully not much and they can diagnose it quickly.

    You, your mom and family will be in the prayers of myself and family......

    I've had to deal with this situation far more than I would have liked and have some experience. If you ever need someone to talk to, don't hesitate to shoot me a PM.;]

    Thanks to everyone, I just returned from the hospital and she did have a stroke and apparently it was a large one, but the good news is it has not had the catastrophic effects that such strokes can have.

    She can move and walk and smile, the only issue is speech and she does great except for maybe every 5th word or when the subject changes it takes her a small bit of time to catch up with the new subject.

    Funny thing was, she can recall her work phone number and I cannot recall my home phone number.

    I lost my mother a few years ago...it was rough. Good vibes your way and best wishes.

    Very good news. I am sure they told you that whatever she may have "lost" now could come back in the weeks to come. While no stroke is good news, it sounds like you have a positive report to look forward to. Best wishes and my prayers continue.

    glad to hear bro. strokes are hard to work through but she can get better. took my dad about two years, but now he is jogging and talking normal again. now she just needs to stay active, so she doesn't get diabetes like my dad did and watch her diet.

    So happy to here this padre.
    With therapy, hopefully she'll be back to herself soon.
    My prayers are with you and your family, as always.

    Glad to hear she'll be ok, padre

    From this point on, helping her to keep a smile on her face and a positive attitude will be IMO, the best medicine she can get.

    Good luck brother;]

    If all she has is a little speech issue, that's a blessing and it can be something that can be corrected. Glad to hear that it wasn't more serious. Continued thoughts, prayers and positive energy. :)
