Hi I am Laura. I had a really bad seizure on the 7th, according to the doctor the seizure had to have been 5-7 minutes long based off of the amount of white matter on the MRI, that caused me to have a stroke and oxygen deprivation to the brain, which caused my left side of my body to have paralysis, I got movement back on the left side of my face now, and very slowly and getting functioning back in my left arm, hand, leg and foot. I am looking at a Total of 6 months for full recovery.

The home my family is currently in is not safe for me to be released home into and it is not handicapped accessible. We have found another home but we need $5,400 down, plus moving costs.

We need help with the time my husband will have to take off work to help me when I get released from the hospital. And any other medical supplies that I am going to need.

Of course life wouldn't be life if it wasn't throwing a wrench in the mix because of course all needs to be happening at the same time that school supplies and school clothes shopping needs to be happening for our 4 beautiful children.

Please help with whatever you can help with. Weather it is sharing this or donating a $1 it all helps.

Hello.

I am now 5 days into Rehabilitation and it has been exhausting. The hardest part is being away from my family.

I am slowly making progress. I am using a walker to walk with. I am slowly learning eat with my left hand again.

Today has been a particularly rough day. It's been a pain day where my body has been fighting back on anything and everything that my team and I are trying to work on.
