Rough Day on Easter

Some of you already know from other sites or Facebook that my mother-in-law was admitted to the hospital this morning. First it was thought it was a stroke, now it appears it was an anuerysm. She is at University Hospital in Baltimore in ICU. Surgery is planned for tomorrow at 6:30am. Just a rough Easter for all of us.

Sorry, and I hope she gets through surgery and is okay. That is what I lost my dad to years ago, and it's tough when something happens so suddenly.

Sorry to hear that Ed. Hope everything goes well for her.

So sorry to hear it Ed. Best wishes for a full recovery. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Thoughts and prayers to your family!

This has been a really shitty year or so. Lost my mom at age 59 last March, then my Grandmother (my mom's mom). Now this.

When it rains it pours. That's life though.

Take some time for yourself brother. Sorry for all of your losses.

Very sorry to read this. Take care and we're here if you need us.

Your family is in my prayers.

I'm so sorry Ed. I hope in the midst of all the turmoil you can find peace in your heart. I'm thinking of you.

Sorry to hear that Ed, thoughts and prayers are with you and Lori.

Hope things go well today. Thinking of you and your family.

Sorry to hear this Ed - hope things are progressing well today.

Prayers for you dude. I hope the surgery goes/has gone well and your loved one is on the road to full recovery!

How did everything go?

Ed, take care of yourself and the family bro...keep us informed!

My mother in law collapsed on Easter Sunday. She felt numb on one side and had a severe headache. After a cat scan it was determined she had an anuerysm. The only choice was to operate. While they had her skull open they found a second one. Both were clipped off and taken care of successfully. However this type of operation turns out with 50-50 odds.

She has been awake since Sunday but is extremely confused. Stroke is a major danger over the next few days. Even if that doesn't happen, it is not sure if a full recovery is possible or if she may be impaired and not able to take care of herself.

The good news is, she has been able to communicate, but it is obviously not herself. It's just too early in this ballgame to say what will happen. She will be in the hospital for at least 2 weeks under the best of scenarios.

Fingers crossed for a full recovery.

It will be a long process for sure, but hopefully she will improve with time and the outcome will be positive. It's good they could catch the aneurysm in time to stop the bleeding.

Please update us on this when you can Ed, I'm praying for her and your Wife.

Continued thoughts and prayers Ed!

BTW, thanks for the well wishes. Much appreciated.

Do what you need to do Ed. We all love you and I'm sure you and your family are in many thoughts and prayers.

Well Lori was really upset yesterday and understandably so. She went to visit her mom and her mom didn't recognize her. She is very confused after the surgery. This could be a long road for all of us.
