Denise had a mini stroke.....

[Caitlin2009]

Yesturday i was talking to her on skype, and i noticed she started acting and talking funny which normally happens when she has an episode anyway (she passes out if shes over stressed and anxiety) so when she passed out i did what i normally do and talk her through it, i think noticed it was taking longer then a few seconds to come out of it which is how long they normally last, it took a minute for her to come out of it. when she finally did from what she told me she kept trying to talk to me but she couldnt! after a few minutes she finally was back to normal, and we didnt think anything of it until this morning when i realized a normal episode wouldnt do that, it then clicked in my head that she most likely had a mini stroke, eventually i convinced her to call a medical hotline and they told her thats what she might have had, shes gonna see the doctor tomarrow. The thought of almost losing her scares me alot *sniffles*

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that =( I hope she's alright. My dad had a mini stroke once, it was scary, so I can empathise *hugs*

They are a scary thing to witness, that's for sure; but it's a good thing she had you to talk her through it. I do hope it doesn't become any more serious :/

I'm glad she's going to have it checked out. I hope she's okay! That sounds really scary. I can't imagine being on the other end of a skype call or video chat and not being able to do anything.

[Caitlin2009]

i dunno but i just wish i was over there right now, i cant stand this distance thing any longer thats another reason shes stressed.

Let us know how everything goes. She's in my prayers

[Engel]

I really really hope she is ok and nothing bad happened!

when you say episode, episode of what, if you dont mind me asking?
my grandma had a stroke, so i know how it is, even with a small one, how we can feel powerless. *hugs*

[Caitlin2009]

her episodes are normally with her passing out for a few seconds if shes stressed or for anxiety reasons

[loveknowsnodistance27]

Oh god, I'm sorry to hear this, Caitlin! Hope she's okay! D:

[Shepard-Fowkes]

Don't worry; the brain's pretty resilient. The fact that she isn't in the emergency room right now is a pretty good sign. Definitely try to keep an eye on her and help her with the doctor's orders. She'll need your help. Hopes of good health headed her way.

[garnet]

Oh geez, so sorry to hear this! I'm glad she's being seen by a doctor soon. Thoughts are with you both!!!

[snow_girl]

I hope she is doing okay. *hugs*

[Caitlin2009]

little update: she went to the doctor and he told her she was on the verge of having a mini stroke, but her body saved her and blocked that by making her shut down for a few minutes, giving her an episode to pass out for awhile, so even though she hates having those episodes it saved her from having something more serious

[London-FortCollins]

Oh hun I'm so sorry, that must have been so scary for you both. I'm glad to hear she's spoken to the doctor and doing ok. She sounds extremely strong - and you do too for being able to help her with everything.

Sending you both big hugs!

[Malaga]

What a scary thing to happen, and for you to witness it! I hope both of you never have to go through that again.
