Peggy Lawerence Medical Update

Sent: Tue, Jul 5, 2011 9:42 am

Friends,

Many of you know that Peggy suffered a stroke from an aneurysm approximately two weeks ago in Nashville. She has been very blessed to be under the care of Dr. Scott Standard, chief of neurology at St. Thomas hospital. I won’t get into the details of her experience except to say that she has gone through considerable trauma through much of this time frame. Prayers and words of encouragement from friends during the past two weeks have been deeply appreciated.. Peggy and I cannot begin to express our gratitude to all of you who have known of her illness and to everyone for your continued support. We also have enormous praise for the neurological ICU nursing staff and physician team (led by Dr. Standard) at St. Thomas.

While she remains in St. Thomas, I am pleased to report that Peggy’s recovery process continues without interruption and we are hopeful that she will be released from ICU either today or tomorrow. The next leg in her journey will be a special care room at St. Thomas. After that, the plan is for her to begin a rehabilitation process at St. Thomas and/or at our residence in Nashville.

At present, Peggy is not only lucid, but remembers everything leading up to and following her stroke. Her speech is clear and her physical faculties are normal. Each day begins with a nurse asking her name, where she is, what year it is and the name of the current U.S. president. Her responses to these queries (and her political opinion) are a solid indication that she is on the way back to a total recovery.

Thanks so much again for your support. Prayers in the coming days and weeks will continue to be appreciated.

NOTE: I don’t have everyone’s email address so please send this on to anyone we know not on the addressee list.
Sincerely,
Tom
