On Thanksgiving Night (2014) about 8:00 p.m. Completely unexpected, and definitely unplanned, I had a dense and rather severe Ishemic Stroke . I am here to tell you of the power of prayer. We believe it was the faithful and heartfelt prayers of MANY that helped me to survive this stroke. Miracles do exist. I was 47 years old and in my opinion...way too young to be having a stroke! Many people agree with me. I am way way too young. How did it happen? The doctors are still trying to figure that out. They told me I was a complex, complicated patient in that my symptoms did not match what they usually see. Because my recovery was so quick, they originally believed it was a migraine cluster headache, that can mimic a stroke many times. They no longer believe that was the case. I have never had a migraine head-ache in my life and don't suffer from a lot of bad headaches. My original stroke symptoms were very severe but it wasn't until the first MRI came back
