Sister in law in ICU

Hello fellow board members,

Wanted to post here because I do not want to take over the football board.  If the mods would like to move this to get more exposure that would be awesome.  

My sister in law was admitted to the hospital Friday evening after being sick for over a week.  Turns out after testing she had suffered a stroke and had bleeding on her brain.  She was rushed from Novant Matthews to Novant uptown Friday evening.  Her Blood pressure was 290/160 which they believe caused the stroke. At first she was going to be rushed to uptown for emergency brain surgery to stop the bleeding in her brain.  In the 15 mins it took me and my wife to get to Novant Matthews the bleeding had stopped.   The scar tissue from the stroke was actually swollen which assisted in stopping the bleeding on her brain.

She has been in ICU care for the last few days and scheduled for an MRI tomorrow to see if anything else is going on.  As of right now the only thing major is she is suffering from memory loss.  They are unsure if some stuff will come back for not.  Anything within the last 2 months or so she does not remember at all.

If anyone is able to donate that would be awesome, but if not just share with as many people as you can.  This is the best fan base in the world and consider this a family.  Please also keep her and the family in your thoughts and prayers.  Also want to throw a shoutout to my man Zaximus on here.  He and his wife are family, and have helped us out this weekend tremendously.

Thanks so much for the support everyone.  I will try to provide regular status updates to keep everyone in the loop.

Today was a very tough day for all of us.  Instead of improving it seems she stayed the same or maybe even got a tad bit worse.  For example she does not remember what month it is, or the year.  She knows who everyone is which is good, but simple stuff she just gets confused with.  

We were told later this evening that this was normal for day 3, and it is usually the hardest.  They believe once the swelling goes down in her brain she will continue to improve, and should gain most of her memory back.  The MRI tonight revealed she may have suffered from 2 different strokes, but still as far as they can tell there has been no real physical damage.  As far as physical stuff goes she is able to get up and walk with assistance which is really awesome.

We will begin to know more in the next few days, and I will share all updates.  Thanks again for all of the support.

Quick update:

SIL was moved from ICU this morning to a normal room.  Still dealing with some spiking high blood pressure issues, but overall she is on the road to full recovery.  Each day is a little better, and and memory is starting to improve.  Thanks for all of the prayers and well wishes.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
