Help Bring Back Rosemary's Joyful Spirit

Hello everyone,

I'm writing this to share our family's story and what's going on.

Many of you know my mom, Rosemary. She is always so happy to see everyone and is such a loving person. She is always giving; if someone needs something, she will offer whatever she has, even if it's just love and support. Having her as a mom has been the best experience ever, and I would never choose anyone over her. She taught me to be the man I am today and to always have respect for anyone, regardless of who they are. My mom is such an outgoing person, and she loves everyone she interacts with, whether they are coworkers, friends, family, or even strangers who are just slightly nice or show her respect.

Last week, on Wednesday, September 11, my mom suffered a stroke that has left her unable to communicate and move her right side. Her stroke occurred in the stem of her brain, causing some bleeding and swelling. She has shown some improvement and has been moving a lot; she has even started to move her right side a little. A couple of nights ago, her oxygen levels began to drop because she was experiencing a buildup of mucus from breathing through her mouth, so she was intubated and put on a ventilator to prevent pneumonia and other serious infections. Despite having an endotracheal tube and being on a constant sedative, she is still moving and trying to get up. She is such a strong person (and possibly a little stubborn, lol), and I know for a fact she isn't going to let something like this break her or keep her down. I believe she will do everything she needs to do to come back to her normal self.

I'm writing this because I want to raise some money for her medical bills when she is released and to help provide for her rehabilitation once she is up and moving. We are all completely broken and miss our mom so much. We just want to see her again and hear her voice. I loved hearing her play music so loud when she was taking a shower and always talking about what song reminded her of what. We miss her talking our heads off every time we see her. I've decided not to include any pictures of her in her hospital bed because I want everyone to remember how she looked before this ordeal and to show everyone my beautiful mother the way we all remember her.

Any support will be appreciated, whether it's a donation or just words of positivity. Thank you so much for your kindness.

Her son,

Justin
