Complication Started On Monday

On 18th December 2009,

It all begin on 14th December 2009 Monday, she realised that she was speaking to herself. Thought it was not a big deal, we kinda brush it away.

Tuesday morning, she begin to feel trembling when holding both hands forward. Her communication skills slows substantially, requires prompting. Am I loosing her. What is happening. All seems well and suddenly....

Evening came, This was the most frightening time I ever encountered, apart from what has been described earlier, this time it was worse than before. She almost could not tell her right from left. She almost totally lost her senses. I was devastated, broke down in tears. She tried very hard to recall what had happened, but was in vain. Doctors ordered MRI, called in the Rheumatology Doctors, Neurology Doctors, and the Psychiatrist the next day.

She had this trembling experience when she was on very high dose of steroid during her Lupus days in 1997. Apart from this, she had numbness in her lips area, that leads to Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA, i.e Stroke) in her earlier days with Lupus.

Doctors could not conclude what was the cause. It could be Lupus, TIA, Drug overdose or allergy.

Thank you all for praying with me for Debbie that the MRI results came and it shows that all is clear.

A great relief. She is much better today. She is beginning to gain back her usual self.

Please pray with me, that nothing was damage during this episode. Swelling in her legs will subside, gain back her complete self again and will be home for Christmas....
