On 8/3/2020, Johnny suffered from a massive stroke in our home. He was rushed to Northcrest Medical Center and then transferred to Vanderbilt, where he remains. Vanderbilt doctors are telling us that he had a blood clot in his neck (as a result of COVID). This blood clot traveled to his brain, causing the massive stroke. Due to the intensity of the stroke, intervention was not possible. His brain began to swell and they had to release the pressure by removing part of his skull. We are currently waiting to see how he responds. We have been told by the doctors that IF he gets through this, he will require intensive rehabilitation.  We know that God has the final word and we are continuing to pray that a miracle happens for our beloved husband, father, grandfather, friend, and community member. <br /><br />3 weeks prior to Johnny's massive stroke, my father passed away. Initially, we were told he was suffering from cancer.  Our family was called in to say our goodbyes one last time prior to him passing. Most of our immediate family was able to visit my father before he passed. The day that he passed, we learned that he was actually suffering from COVID related illness. Since that time, the majority our immediate family has tested positive for COVID and some have been hospitalized.  Due to the wide spread COVID outbreak among our family, we are unable to visit Johnny at this time. This has been an added hardship as we are unable to be with him during this difficult time. Additionally no one in the household is able to work at this time. <br /><br />We have a long road ahead of us, but know that God has our family in his hands. Please pray with us for Johnny's full recovery, and our family's full recovery from COVID.
