This is day 3 sitting in ICU with my wife, Christy. She had a stroke on Monday at about 12:15. We were sitting on the couch in our family room watching TV when all of a sudden she couldn't speak. I loaded her into the car and rushed her to Southern Hills Hospital, less than 10 minutes from our house. They ran CTs, MRI, and treated her with tPA. Until this morning, she has been agitated, confused, combative, and sleepless. Finally she got some sleep, and she has calmed down a lot. Her ability to speak has returned, although I'd hesitate to tell you some of the things she's said over the last couple of days. I think they will be moving her out of ICU sometime today. I'm hoping to take her home within a day or two. We're pretty much alone here, no family or close friends. So, any prayers or positive thoughts will be greatly appreciated.
