Hey, I just got a phone call that a dear dear friend of mine just had a stroke last night.

She is only 39 and is in relatively good health. I was and am so shocked to hear of the stroke. The early reports are that she is doing well and can speak but has problems writing. That is all I know.

Keep her in your prayers, chants, send white lights, etc. I can't even begin to tell you guys how this affects me. I am just so devastated by it all. Just such a surprise.

Now that I have permission to post the name of this friend it is Christina (Illsucceed).

I just got off the phone with her and she sounds great actually. It was a stroke of superficial infarction in the cerebellum.

She wanted me to let you all know she is doing well.

I am going to call her back later tonight.

The following is an email I received from her older sister Lisa.

Penni - Christina has had a minor stroke on Monday. She is in the

hospital and doing pretty well. She still has some problems with some words and writing skills but is getting better every hour. She will be in the hospital for a few days so they can run several tests to try and figure out why this happened. Unfortunately strokes do run in our family, both our father and grandfathers died fairly young from strokes.

Thank you for any prayers in her behalf.

Lisa (her older sister)

She can be reached at

William Beaumont Hospital

3601 W 13 Mile Rd

Royal Oak, MI 48073

I'm sending her best wishes for a speedy recovery! God bless!

Let her know she is in our thoughts...Big hugs and wishes for a speedy recovery.

Oh my Goodness!

A stroke at 39.

wow.

Christina ~ you better get yourself fixed up! There's too many hungry wolves ready to devour that "Sweet Young Thang"! :confused:

((hugs and prayers))

Send her my Love as well.

I know she'll be fine, she's such a fighter.

Sarge! No slacking on the job!!! Get back here as soon as possible! Your privates need you!!!

Tons of prayers coming your way....

Please recover quickly Christina! I hope to see you on here "Sarging" everyone soon! God Bless!

Just spoke to Christina and she is doing better. She is hoping to go home on Friday but no guarantees. She is getting more tests done as a precaution to make sure things are back to normal. I told her all her Privates are wishing her well and sending her prayers. She appreciated that so much.

While I was on the phone with her the flowers were delivered and she read the note back to me and laughed. That is a great sign. I am scheduled to call her later this afternoon.

If there is any change I will come back and post something. Otherwise know that she appreciates all your prayers and well wishes.

OMG I am in tears here. When you talk to her i am sure you are letting her know that we all love her and wish her a swift and complete recovery!! I will be praying along with my family. I can't wait to see her on the board again. Come back sarge!!!!

Just got off the phone with Christina. Today is much better than yesterday was for her. They found more clots in her body so they started her on blood thinners. Since she is off the birth control (which I think caused the stroke and docs seem to agree) her TOM is rearing it's ugly head. LOL!! She is weak but managed to chuckle a time or two in the conversation.

She wants to say thank you to all who are sending up prayers and to thank us for sending the flowers. The blue vase cheers her up each time she sees it.

I will report more when I know more.

Thanks for keeping us updated Penni. I'll keep her on my list! (((hugs))) Christina!

oh Geeze! I'm so sorry Christina! I don't check the boards everyday, and so I missed this.

Sending you tons of white lights! I'll light a prayer candle for you tonight too.

Wow, I also missed this at first. Please continue to let her know we are thinking about her!

Penni, Please send Christina my best. Iam sorry to hear of this! What a shock!

I will be praying for Christina and hoping for a quick recovery....please let her know I am thinking of her...thanks, Penni.

Christina I'm late seeing this thread.. and I'm just in such shock to see you are so sick.. I just can't believe that someone so full of life and keeping us on track could have such bad luck with your health all the sudden. We love you girl and wish you well (((( HUGS)))!!
