You see last weekend, I had a blood clot in my brain.
I don't really remember what happened. It is all kind of fuzzy. I remember not knowing where my two middle girls were (at my in laws). I couldn't figure out things basic things. Nothing made sense. There was a tub of flour on the table and I couldn't figure out why and it was very upsetting.
Somehow I called my husband. He realized there was an issue based on my slurring my speech and talking about things that made no sense what so ever. He wanted to me to give the phone to Princess so she could help. I- being stupid and not with it- refused. Arguing with me when like that was like arguing with 4 year old over ice cream. There was no reason.
At some point I had a glimpse of reason and decided to call 911.
My husband called my in laws to help, they arrived around the same time as the ambulance.
Everyone realized there was something seriously wrong.
I could not communicate with anyone. (thought I remember telling people things)
Apparently I had a facial droop, difference in strength and other signs of a brain issue.
At the hospital I had a a bunch of tests that I don't remember. I stayed overnight.
********************************************************************************
that being the story I wanted to have my kids tell about how they felt so other kids who have a family member experience a medical emergency can know they are not alone.
Princess -age 9-
I didn't know what was happening, I thought my mom might die. I tried to remember what to do. I was scared. When the police and the fire department came it was confusing there were too many people.
Stinky -age 6-
I was confused. I wished she would get all better. There were a lot of people here to help.
Mama got very sick
