Denise was taken to Nacogdoches Medical Center on Tuesday 1/7/14. The doctors found a blood clot on the right side of her brain, which caused a stroke, they started medicine to dissolve the clot. She also received results from a previous culture of the lungs that revealed she has a rare form of lung cancer. She was moved to Memorial Hermann Medical Hospital in Houston early Wednesday morning. She had a procedure performed to relieve the swelling on her brain, which went well. She has paralysis on her left side with limited movement of her arm and hand but a little more movement in her leg and foot. She also had a procedure performed to check her heart to find out where the blood clot formed, this test also came back good with no issues found. She is alert and communicating with her family & friends as best she can. She begins physical therapy on Monday, they plan to have her doing 3 hours at a time. Until she is further along in her recovery from the stroke they will not address the lung cancer issue. The family would like to thank everyone for their prayers and ask that you continue to pray for her!
