Janet Latimer Medical Fund
On Sunday night around 9/9:30 Janet had a stroke. She was taken by ambulance to the Delta Community hospital. They administered TPA, a massive blood thinner which came with it's own risks. She was completely non communicative and her right side was lacking in coordination. She was taken by helicopter to Utah Valley Hospital where she's been in the Neuro ICU. Because of the TPA she had to remain laying down flat for 24 hrs so an MRI had to wait until this morning. Shortly after they gave her the TPA she was able to say a word here and there. By last night she was able to speak in sentences again. She will require speech therapy, physical therapy, and occupational therapy. She has a long road ahead of her but I know she's a fighter and a very determined one at that!!
They determined that she has PFO ( a hole in her heart) but aren't convinced it's the only contributing factor. They are running blood panels to see if there are other indicators. She'll go from the hospital in a few days to acute rehab for 1 to 2 weeks depending on her progress. (I'm saying less than a week )She's making great strides already in her recovery.
They also believe it was one large clot that broke up in the brain and sent several smaller clots throughout her brain damaging seven different areas.
THANK YOU ALL for your love and support emotionally. It has been felt. I know God hears and answers prayers. I know our Grandpa is with her helping and comforting her, along with other family members.
