Through more testing than any one person should have to endure, they believe they are coming to know more about Marcy's stroke. First, we have known for some time now that Marcy's stroke was not a blockage, but rather a bleed. Due to swelling and spasming it has taken some time to see the extent of the damage. But, they now believe that it's not too large--perhaps about 1mm. But, in order to fix the damage, Marcy will most likely have surgery on Friday to clip the artery that ruptured to prevent further damage.
Again, the Doctors feel very positive about a complete recovery. Both Ellen Mason and I had the chance to talk with her yesterday, and she sounded great. She's still the upbeat, optimistic Marcy that we all love. And she's still the Supermom--talking about kids schedules, homework, and Halloween Costumes. Her speech has really improved and she's having far few moments of confusion. It was great to just hear her sweet voice!
Ellen and I also wanted to let everyone know how great the children are doing. Mark and Marcy have raised remarkable children who have the same happiness and strength as their parents do. It has been a joy for both of us to have these wonderful kids with us! They ask about Marcy all the time, but they also know how well she's doing. I've also heard through Marcy's sister, Mary, that Hayden is doing great!
Marcy, we're sorry but no matching shirts today, but we'll get better about it! So rest and relax and know that all is well! There are SO many people waiting in line to do anything they can--I've actually had people beg me to tell them something they can do now. I think you're going to have dinners for about a year after you get home! When Ellen and I stopped by the house yesterday with the kids, several people just came by hoping that they could talk to someone about what they could do. So know that you are loved and have a whole community of people ready to do anything at anytime. You and Mark do so much for everyone else, let us do something for you now!
Here's a couple more pictures from Ellen to brighten your day!

Hi Marcy it's Edie! How are you feeling!? I sure hope sweell. Everyone is having a blast and the boys just would die for it to go on for a life time! It won't be to long until you will recover totally, and when you do you will feel a whole lot better!(Even though I know you probablly already know that) Well Hannah and I are heading upstairs to read for a bit, so we all hope to see you soon and hope that you will feel much better at least before Halloween!
LOVE,
