Thoughts and prayers sent your way.  I had a stroke almost 18 months ago.  While I wouldn't wish it on anyone, it most certainly gave me a better perspective on the good things in my life.  It sounds like you all caught this is time to avoid any major damage.  Best wishes with the recovery.

Stroke

Stroke-Time Lost is Brain Lost

Stroke is the leading cause of disability and the third leading cause of death in the United States. An estimated 700,000 to 750,000 new or recurrent strokes occur each year in the United States.

In 2004 New York State had 6,855 deaths due to stroke.

Learning the signs of stroke and calling 911 for help are the best ways to prevent disability and death from stroke.

Stroke Signs

All of the major symptoms of stroke appear suddenly, and without warning and they are often not painful but still need to be taken seriously. If you think someone is experiencing any of these symptoms, or you are experiencing them call 9-1-1 immediately.

The most common symptoms of stroke can be remembered by the acronym FAST:

F = Face: Is one side of the face drooping down?
A = Arm: Can the person raise both arms, or is one arm weak?
S = Speech: Is speech slurred or confusing?
T = Time: Time is critical!! Call 9-1-1 immediately!
Other, less common symptoms of the most common type of stroke are:

sudden trouble seeing,
sudden dizziness, and
generalized weakness.
If you or someone you are with have any one of these symptoms, it's important to act FAST and call 911, as soon as possible!

All of this information is correct..I had a stroke on Valentines Day and the only symptom was I slurred a lil bit. If you even think you might have had a stroke..get it checked out. Better safe than sorry because the symptoms do NOT hurt. I never hurt. And that is scary.
All the best to Ken and his wife.. Pam .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ

And their prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make them well...  The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results.
          James 5:15-16

Good and gracious Heavenly Father, thank you for hearing this prayer and holding Ken and Lana to your loving bosom as they face Lana's illness.  Watch over them and help them find the strength and discipline to persevere through Lana's treatment and recovery.  Please guide the doctors as they care for her; guide their minds and hands and inspire them that they may help her regain her health.
