Helping mom

Friends, family, and kind souls,

Hello my name is Paola Seguel, I am Gladys Daughter. We reach out to you during a time of great difficulty and family pain. Our beloved mother Gladys, who has always been a beacon of joy and laughter to those of us who know her, faces an uphill battle, after suffering one of the most severe strokes of this condition. This happened in 2023. Mom and her husband Robert, have been living a quiet and happy life in Napier, New Zealand, for many years now.

While she was having breakfast with our dad, she began to show some signs of paralysis on her face. My dad acted quickly, so medical aid arrived on time, saving her life. Dad's immediate reaction was very important, as is known, in this type of situation. We all recognize his high compromise and profound love for our mother.

She was rushed to Hastings Hospital in Napier. She suffered one of the most serious strokes, with paralysis on one side of her body, which also affected language and cognitive functions of the brain. It is a true miracle that she survived this stroke Even medical personnel agree on this point. Her injuries have left her in need of our collective support.

She is currently in a care home, under intensive health care in Napier. The hospital, after giving her immediate medical emergency treatment, discharged her, unable to do more for her recovery. It is currently in this center where she receives complete and specialized attention and care since neither her husband nor anyone in the family can effectively assist her in this delicate situation.

Moms spirit – those of you who are lucky enough to know mom, understand the incredible energy and warmth she has brought to everyone around her. Her happily infectious spirit and unwavering positivity have touched the lives of many of us.

Moms' presence is a true blessing; always offers a helping hand, sharing with others what she can, with genuine generosity and affection. Now, in this time of need, it is our turn to show her the same love and kindness that she has extended to us throughout her happy years.

We don't know what the future holds, we are hopeful she will improve.
