Wanna Be a Steader!

Prayer Request!!

Yesterday, Sunday, just after church my family and our best friends, and some other good friends, were going to a restaurant.  In just the less than 10 minutes it took us to go from church to the restaurant something terrible happened to our friend, Marcy.  When we pulled into the parking lot, Barry – Marcy’s husband – came over to our car and said that, “Marcy doesn’t know where she is, she’s suddenly completely confused, I’m going to take her home.”  We, and another family of friends who were there with us, urged him to take her to the hospital, but he wanted to take her home.  About 10 minutes later, he called my cell and said that she was getting worse – she didn’t recognize their home and anything in it - and he’s taking her to the hospital.  We met them at the hospital emergency room and, sure enough, she knew all of us, but didn’t know where she was, the date…she didn’t remember anything beyond about an hour before she went to bed the night before.  At church she had worked the nursery during Sunday School and stood right next to me on the praise and worship team and led praise with her beautiful singing!  She remembered NOTHING!  While they were back in the emergency room, her husband was giving the nurse her family history and when he told the nurse that her mother was deceased, Marcy had a heart-breaking meltdown; she had no idea that her mom was gone.  As the Lord would have it – our pastor preached on “No Accidents” – their little 5 year old boy, David, was riding to the restaurant with yet another family and their kids.  So, David saw nothing that happened to his mom and simply went home with the friends until today.  The Lord is SO good!  David would have been so worried about his mamma.  But what would break my heart is that every other question Marcy would ask was a repeat – “Did David see me?”…”Was David scared?”…”Where’s my David?”…”Who has David?”…”Is David here?”  Even though she was so confused, her sweet little boy was still at the recurring center of her concern. 

Marcy is getting some better today – they have done a CT Scan and MRI and have ruled out stroke and are leaning toward extreme stress induced Global Amnesia.  So, she should recover.  I ask for your prayers for Marcy’s complete recovery.  She still can’t remember yesterday morning, but she now knows which hospital she’s in, where she lives, and other daily things.  It was so scary to see my sweet, dear friend so scared and confused.  I’ve never witnessed anything like that before and it was quite disturbing, but we are all SO grateful that she didn’t have a stoke.  Thanks SO much.

Oh my goodness, I've never heard of such a thing! I'm so glad she is improving, and glad it wasn't a stroke. Please keep us updated on her condition. I'll keep her family in my prayers.
