I just heard from a very dear IRL friend that her 31 yo brother suffered a stroke tonight and is paralyzed on his left side. They are a close family and her parents are a wonderful couple, beautiful examples of a loving Catholic family. I know she loves her brother very much and he is very close to her children. The past few years he has filmed and produced beautiful videos for our co-op at Christmas essentially for free (video production is what he does for a living). His name is George. Thank you, I know the power of our prayers.
____________________________________________________
George is moving his left side a bit and is able to talk. He knows who he is, where he is, and so on. Had an MRI earlier to determine damage and causes. Please keep praying. The events of how and where he collapsed are enough to convince anyone that guardian angels are real.
------------------------------------------------------
George was flown to Georgetown Hospital yesterday and received emergency brain surgery. The swelling had become dangerous. My friend says a few more hours of waiting and they would have lost him. They did verify that he did suffer a massive stroke on the right side. Please continue to pray, he has a long recovery ahead of him. And I would just add, your prayers are already working miracles. Some of the doctors at the hospital he was at had pretty much given up on him, but it was another neurosurgeon who worked hard to transfer him and essentially saved his life.
