For those of you that don't know, our mom had a stroke on Saturday June 22nd and it literally came out of no where. Our lives have been flipped upside down since then. Our mom was transported to San Antonio and has been undergoing a ton of different tests to try and figure out how much damage has been caused from the stroke. She suffered an Occipital Lobe stroke and it has left her with the inability to see out of her right eye, she has zero peripheral vision in her left eye, her left arm and leg are very weak and she needs assistance to walk. Her blood pressure continues to run high and the dr's have had a very difficult time trying to stabilize it. She is suffering from short  term memory loss and has some difficulties speaking sometimes. With this type of stroke comes hallucinations which have been scary to see my mom struggle with. Our mom is the glue that holds our family together. She is our everything. I come to all of our friends and family and anyone out there that might be able to help and we are asking for any kind of assistance to help get my parents and our families through this difficult  financial crisis that this medical emergency is causing us. My dad is pretty much the sole income for him and my mom and he has been by her side every second since this ordeal began. As well as my older sister Roni, who has left her 6 children back in Del Rio to come and help care for our mother. I myself have not returned to work in order to be there for my mom. She needs constant 24 hour supervision because the risk of another stroke occurring is very high the first 3 weeks after someone has suffered a stroke. The dr's are telling us that she will not be able to return home and will need to be admitted into an acute rehab facility to help her try and get back to her normal self,  as much as possible. Unfortunately that will not be possible until they  can get her blood pressure under control. My parents have helped so many people in their lives. They are always giving to those in need even when they themselves struggle. Life doesn't stop however and the bills keep on coming in even though there is no money rolling in to pay them. If you can find it in your hearts to donate any amount it would be greatly appreciated. It is very hard to try and focus on trying to get our mom better while at the same time worrying about the electricity getting shut off. We are a strong Catholic family and we are constantly giving thanks to God  that he did not take her away from us and has given her a chance to get better. She is looking at quite a long road to recovery and it is going to take some time. Mom only has Medicare and no additional supplemental coverage so we have no idea at this point what is going to be covered and what won't be. To see my mom worried that my dad and us are not working and is worrying about the bills instead  of focusing on recovery so heartbreaking. So we humbly ask for any help that we can get. God bless every single one of you.
