Melinda Holland’s Recovery

On Friday, May 19th my mother, Melinda (Mindy), was out at breakfast with my father, John. Before they had even received their food, Mindy started experiencing strange symptoms and after seeing and hearing her slurred speech, my dad grabbed help and the ambulance was quickly called. She was then taken to the ER where they concluded she had experienced a stroke and she was partially paralyzed on her entire left side…

Long story short and multiple transfers later, Mindy is now at a rehabilitation facility relearning how to do many tasks we often take for granted having the ability to do as healthy, able bodied individuals. And my loving and supportive father, John, has not left her side since she was originally taken to the hospital.

She has continued to work hard in her therapies, and make progress towards her goals of being fully independent once again. She has regained lots of movement in her leg, and some in her arm but there is still a ways to go…

I wanted to start this GoFundMe to help support my parents and family during this time. The funds will be used for medical bills, and expenses necessary to bring my sweet momma home safely. It will help make her road to recovery as calm and comfortable as possible.

I, along with the rest of my family, have greatly appreciated the kind messages, thoughts, and prayers that we have received during this time. If you do have the means to donate, your generosity will be greatly cherished.
