The Red Brick Times

Hating to be the bearer of sad news, but grateful when others post information about our friends, I bring you the following report. On Monday, Sandy Stevens suffered a brain aneurism, which burst and was complicated with a stroke. (Don't have enough information or medical knowlege to say if one was cause and the other effect.) A 911 call and CPR got her to the local ER, where there just happened to be a renowned neurosurgeon on call. Surgery followed, and it was determined that the damaged part of the brain is that which controls small motor function. Tuesday she was stable, but had not yet regained consciousness. Today, (Wednesday) the news was not good. Sandy's blood pressure remains unstable, so they cannot test brain function. Terri and Zak are with her, and Ashton says that they have discussed Sandy's wishes for a DNR, if it becomes necessary.

Linda got this information about Sandy when Zak called Adam to ask him to dog sit while he's in Florida. Tuesday evening Linda went back in the Cleveland Clinic for a short stay to treat her for a blood clot in her leg. Linda's been feeling good, getting more active, and even driving herself around. We are waiting to see if this oral chemotherapy is effective.

Keep good thoughts.
