Richard was taken to the ER last night and diagnosed with a bleeding stroke. He developed slurred speech and right sided weakness about 1130pm last night. He was transferred to Lutheran. He has regained normal speech, ability to use right arm, but remains numb, he has some movement of right leg. He is having an MRI now to determine if bleeding has stopped. I am so thankful that he was awake when symptoms started so that he could let my mom know and get treatment immediately. The Lord is surely looking after him. I know this seems like a lot going on in our family right now but I am still confident that God has gone before us, behind us and is right in the middle of everything going on. He is continuing to reveal himself to all us in a powerful way. He is so faithful, full of mercy and grace.
I have an oncologist check up today at 1pm, then will be heading to Ft Wayne. Chris and Travena are with mom and Richard now. Pray for their strength as they minister God's love to mom and Richard. (no one has slept yet..)
"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written "for your sake we face death all day long, we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered" No in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the further, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord" Romans 8:35-39
