Pictures around the house |
After
decorating the house, we headed to Damon for the annual Schuelke
family party. While on the road, we got a call that Doris'
brother Franklin had a stroke that morning (12/16) and was lifeflighted
to Houston. He had several strokes after that, and was given a
stent in his left carotid artery. 12/21/09 -
Franklin was able to walk with no trouble. Brain MRI shows
no problems, but he is still having seizures. He is now on EEG
to see what is going on. Speech is fine - only remaining
problem is loss of use of right arm.
12/25/09 -
Apparently no further strokes/seizures for last two days, and he
has regained most of the use of his right arm and hand!!
He was released to go home on Christmas Day!! |

25 years ago Doris gave John
a similar tree for Christmas. She thought it was
plastic until it started turning brown. The "plastic
tree" lasted exactly 20 years and grew to over 8 feet tall
before a freeze killed it on
Christmas day 2004. It
was sad to see it go, so we are going to try to beat the
previous record with this tree. |
