I have been hesitant to post this, but one of my good friends and his wife had their second child last Saturday. About 10 minutes after giving birth, her blood pressure shot up and she had a massive stroke. She wasn't expected to live through the night. Amazingly, she has held on. Yesterday her family said that she moved her fingers. The doctors have no idea what the prognosis is, and the family has been hesitant to pass many test results on. Based on teh reaction of the family, my hunch is that the prognosis is not good.
Her husband is a wreck. They have a 3 year old little boy and a week old boy. The ordeal is so emotionally draining on us, as friends, that I cannot imagine what it is doing to her family. We have been their for emotional support, physical support, and to help with the children. All I've wanted to do since I found out is to hold my kids and spouse. If you have a moment, please keep them in your thoughts and say a little prayer.
