Gator's sister

[Gator]

We found out about 2 hours ago that Bob's sister, Beverly Atchison, who lives in Lake Charles, LA (southwestern LA), has multiple hemorrhages in the brain - she apparently had a stroke this morning and is unconscious, with brain damage. They are currently doing surgery on 3 of the hemorrhages. Bob is on his way home from the hunting camp and as soon as he unloads that and we load what I packed, we will pick up his sister who lives only several miles from us, and be on our way to Lake Charles. We will be out of e-mail/internet touch for a few days, I am sure, but we will take all the hard praying that you can offer. Thank you.

Update

Thanks for all the prayers. Please keep them coming. Beverly is still in a coma - she does show some improvement. The extent of her recovery, if there is one, is still a big question mark. She had a "bleeding stroke". She had two areas of hemorrhage, which appeared to be head trauma instead of stroke, but there was no head trauma. Her husband, Keith, her children, grandchildren, family and friends still desparately need your prayers. We are praying for a miracle of recovery. Bob is still in Lake Charles - I came home Sunday. Beverly is a faithful person and believes in prayer and we are all grateful for this network of prayer. God Bless You.

Wanda came to get me in Lake Charles today. We got home around 5 P.M. Thanks to all of you for keeping my sister and us in your thoughts and prayers. I needed to come home for a while. It's been tough on all of us. Not much in the way of good news except that she is still alive. She is still in a deep coma with no indication when or even if she may come out of it. They have the ventilator turned almost completely off and she is breathing on her own. She has a lot of damage to her brain from the bleeding and the pressure that had built up from it which also caused a lack of blood flow to the opposite side of her brain. The bleeding was deep inside of her brain which caused damage to her brain stem. The doctor's have only given her a 5 to 15% chance of any kind of recovery if she lives. Please continue to pray for her since it seems as though what she needs is a miracle at this point. Thanks again for everyone's concern.
