Not cancer related but would appreciate prayers for my friend

My friend, Lucy, spends her time off in Tennessee taking care of her mother-in-law and I received a call today that her son found her in bed, where she had suffered a major stroke and they cannot say at this point as to whether she will survive or not. She is only 53 years old and is a very kind, humorous, and compassionate woman. I always think i have it bad until something like this happens and I am forced to realize that I may have a whole lot more time in this life than she does. I would appreciate any prayers for her that you can spare.

Sincerely,
Steph C.

My prayers are certainly with you! My father-in-law lived several years after a stroke like that. He was just kinda like a little kid afterwards. But at least we had him!

The stroke turned out to be a brain aneurysm and has caused lots of damage. They repaired what they could yesterday and have chemically induced a coma to allow her to heal. Odds are not good, but she is a fighter. Thank you guys for remembering her in your prayers.
