I'm gonna humbly ask all of my friends here for some prayers. My mom had a stroke this past week. She lives in Mexico in the winter and East Glacier, Mt. in the summers. On Thurs. she suffered a pretty serious stroke. Total left sided paralysis, very affected speech and not able to swallow very well. She was in Mexico, but is now in a hospital in Chula Vista, Ca. Will be going to a rehab center soon. Mom is only 68, but smokes like a stove, and is overweight. Not sure how this will all shake out with her being so far from us, her husband is 82, and while in reasonably good health, still depended on my mom for a lot. I want to be there, but don't want to go down until I can be of some benefit to her and the situation. Tough being 1000 mi. away. They also don't have much in the way of finances, so that will be an issue I'm sure. On Fri. we learned that one of our son's (estranged son) good friends was killed in an avalanche while skiing in Glacier last week. Our youngest daughter developed kidney stones, and has spent the entire weekend passing those. She fortunately, is doing well now. So, if when it rains, it pours, we are in the middle of a monsoon. A years worth of stuff in a few days. Thanks for listening to me here.
