Stevee’s Stroke Recovery

As most of you already know, Stevee is a 20 year old tobacco free/ drug free daughter, sister and granddaughter who suffered a severe stroke Saturday morning. It’s like a heart attack on the brain where part of the brain does not get blood supply; when your brain is not getting oxygen, not only does it not function properly but you can lose capabilities for the rest of your life..time is brain and the quicker you seek medical attention the better. We did not know Stevee suffered from a stroke for several, almost 12 hours later. The doctors later found a hole in her heart and are under the impression that the clot formed in one of her legs and went through one of the arteries and then through the hole in her heart causing it to go straight to the main artery in the left side of her brain. We were told that she would not have survived another day if they didn’t remove it when they did. She is slowly gaining function of the right side of her body with the help of physical and occupational therapy. She is currently getting several tests to see where the clot came from including CTs, MRIs, MRAs, ultrasounds and a TEE. She is being closely watched by a neurologist, nephrologist, cardiologist and a hematologist/oncologist. On top of all of the tragedy Stevee has undergone in the past 48 hours, she has to now worry about the cost of the medical bills. Her family is going to do everything they can to relieve her from this stress but the fact is that we simply cannot cover all of scans, procedures and cost of stay due to her not having any insurance. On top of this she will have six months to a year of physical/occupational therapy. Anything is greatly appreciated and if you cannot donate please do not hesitate to PRAY! We are so thankful to have Stevee here with us and all of your thoughts and prayers have meant so much.
