Well our families 4th of July was memorable. I had a stroke at 1:30 in the morning.It was the scariest thing I have ever been through. I blacked out and when I woke up My bath room was filled with paramedics. And I realized that My Right side was numb I couldn't feel my arm, leg or my face. My tongue was numb. And I couldn't speak. I could hear my self moaning but I couldn't make any words come together. They took me to Dixie regional hospital. Where they decided to life flight me to Provo where there is a Nero surgeon that can do a special procedure to break up the clot with less risk of hemroging. But there's a 6 hour window to have it done in and we made it to the hospital in 5 hr 50 min so he couldn't do it after all. But the clot started to dissipate after about 6 1/2 hours. And my speech started to come back slowly. We were very blessed and watched over. I have right sided weakness which is coming back slower then I hoped but it is coming and I'm thankful for that .The doc said with in 6 months I should get back 75 % and a full recover by a year,And hopefully out of the wheel chair within a couple of months. So off to rehab I go. I'm so glad the therapist are so nice, if they were mean it would be hard to go back, they put you in so much pain. We want to thank every one for the prayers and help. Our family have felt so loved through this very difficult time.Thank you every one ex specially our family and friends. WE love you
