At the age of 35, with no risk factors, I had a stroke on Sunday afternoon. So far I've regained everything but my index and thumb on my right hand. THANK YOU for the amazing support everyone has offered us. Typing is a bit hard, so I'll just cut and paste from Lanse's Facebook post for posterity, and anyone who may read here and not there.
Paste:
We
were driving home on Sunday afternoon from visiting Jessica’s parents
in Charlotte over the weekend. We had stopped at the Summerville Burger
King to feed the boys before we got home, and the stroke hit just after
she had parked
the car and opened the door. Had this happened five minutes earlier,
we would have been a high-speed smear down the I-26 median, which is
also rather mind-blowing.
We got to Trident Hospital within
half an hour and she was admitted quickly. The MRI showed a minor
stroke, and we were there until yesterday afternoon. Jessica is now
home, and is expected to make a nearly full recovery.
Thank you everyone for your prayers and your support in other ways, it is amazingly helpful and we really really appreciate it!
