PLEASE PRAY FOR LEISA-***LATEST UPDATE on pg20** GETTING WORSE

[03RCode]

Brett I'm sure shes going to pull through buddy. She is still in all our thoughts and prayers. Just keep your head up and have faith.

[csmiths]

good god man thats terrible. just pray for her as im sure there are many others who will be, and things will turn out just fine. keep you hopes and prayers up

[01Focusguy]

Brett- you don't know me, we met briefly at Nopi last year. I have known Leisa through the Team Blindside boards for quite some time. We just wanted to let you know that we are praying for Leisa. You family is in our thoughts and prayers. She has a strong presence and she will fight.

[Nomad!]

Brett, sorry to hear this horrible news. I can't even begin to know what you're experiencing emotionally, mentally, and even physically. I send my well wishes & I'll definitely send my prayers up for her. I know you've heard so many things from so many people trying to give you words of encouragement. Some of them helpful & many of them empty cliches. All I can say other than what I've already stated is, don't lose your faith. I'm sure that's easier said than done, especially in this situation. Just try to remember that what you have faith in is bigger than any situation you may face & this situation is as big as they get. Be strong for Leisa just as she has been strong for you. I pray for the best for both of you.

[Benefit]

sorry to hear that...really thought she would have gained consciousness by now, be strong...

[Brett]

Thank you all, I have to keep remebering this is only day #6, and even though the Dr. says if she doesnt wake up in a week thats a set back, But I have heard so many stories of people in Coma's that dont wake up for closer to 10-14 days or more.... Her brain has been through alot and it may take a tad longer than a week. I am trying so hard to stay strong. God its so hard.

[quickdodge®]

Brett. I'm with ya, man. I'm another shoulder to lean on, you know. Later, QD.

[Revmaynard]

My girlfriends mother died in 05 and was in a coma for three weeks before she woke up. Leisa is gonna pull out! She's a fighter!

[Brett]

My girlfriends mother died in 05 and was in a coma for three weeks before she woke up. Leisa is gonna pull out! She's a fighter!

I wish I knew people who had strokes in the same area of the brain as her, The Pons is the area hers, in which Pons - contains centers for the control of vital processes, including respiration and cardiovascular functions. It also is involved in the coordination of eye movements and balance. That is why she cant wake up

[Turbodude06]

I hope she pulls through sorry to hear about this, just keep faith and I shall pray too along with the others, GOOD LUCK TO U AND UR WIFE!!!!!!!!!!

[JessAlba452]

She's going to pull through, I feel for you Brett and be sure that you both will be in my prayers.

God bless!

[Brett]

Thanks everyone for the prayers and support.

[The Ren]

Brett.. I found this site online..and it has a lot of stories of people who have survived the same type of stroke Leisa had, some people are saying it was 3 weeks for them to come out of the coma.. some even longer.. http://www.strokeboard.net/index.php?showtopic=7940. Im still praying for you guys every night, she WILL get better Brett.. she will. Be strong..

[Kevykev]

Thanks everyone for the prayers and support.

i'll be back man, left you a voicemail.

[Sammich]

checking in for the support and update man...i hope all is well/stable

[Brett]

Well today we had a first good day since she has been in there. Today is 1 week tonight she had the stroke.... and today she made a few big changes (Atleast to me, even though the doctor didnt seem to impressed which pissed me off)

Today a CT Scan was done, and her swelling has started to go down in her brain. Because of that they clamped off the tube that has been draining her fluid from her brain and her brain has been doing it like a normal brain since 7am this morning.

Her right side since she has arrived there has reacted to pain tests which told us her brain fires to her right side so we knew there was no damage on that side, but today......Her left leg and arm has been now responding to pain, All reflex only, Not Leisa doing it BUT her left side has not shown any movements in her left side since the stroke so to me it shows her brain is starting to repair the damage.

The doctor says he needs her to wake up, and I wish people on here knew a Neouro (sp?) surgeon, etc who can tell me if these new things could be or seem like steps to her waking up. I would think if her brain is letting her left side begin to feel pain that it should begin to let her wake up, But no one will tell me anything.

But guys, PLEASE I BEG YOU, keep up the prayers, They are starting to show they are reaching her. I so hope she wakes up from this. The longer she stays in it, the less a chance it is I know.

[81911SC]

You know I'm still praying Brett.

[sr98219]

My prayers are still with ya man

I work for one of the biggest heart surgeons around......I will run it by him tomm and see if he by chance is close to one of the local brain surgeons that might know something!!! Still in my thoughts and prayers!! Dont listen to the
DRs negativity! Its not their family so to be honest they dont put any emotion in it,its just what they are good at and do. So you be sure you stay positive! There IS hope!!

[The Ren]

That sounds like major steps to me.. :D

[PhatbacK]

good to hear things are progressing! even though it seems slow its a start! just stay hopefully and stay by her side!! these things just take time so be patient and positive!

[Sammich]

i'm estatic hearing of that that doc can kick rocks...come on leisa!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nomad!]

Good to hear some positive news

[Brett]

PLEASE I BEG YOU ALL, KEEP PRAYING, HARDER THAN EVER BEFORE. Make God get sick of all the prayers and him just say "Enough!! Here, I am giving her back"

[green91]

Im certainly no doctor but those signs do sound positive to me!

[Brett]

I just dont understand how her brain can now start sending signals to her left arm/leg (Which is so good to see, which means there is a shot she can regain her left side) but why cant it send a signal to wake her up? Thats what scares me

[Sammich]

i guess it takes stages brett..i see it as..slow progress is better than none. keep your hopes up, they will come true

[jew_boy]

just give it time brett, and you will see with all the prayers that she will be fine

[AtifSajid]

Thats awesome news man. We are keeping the prayers going!!

[Brett]

I have worn her wedding ring around my neck so its against my heart since the night it happened, I keep telling her she has to wake up so I can give it back and propose all over again

[blackboi50]

STAY STRONG DUDE!!!!!!.....im still praying!!!!.....1

[©hris]

Brett I really hope things go smoothly. I have been checking at least 4 times a day to see if there are any changes.

Could you please post a sticky thread thats locked with updates to make it easier fo us to follow. with 3 different threads going its getting hard to follow bro.

[Brett]

Yeah I will do that later today

[Papa_Smurf]

I have worn her wedding ring around my neck so its against my heart since the night it happened, I keep telling her she has to wake up so I can give it back and propose all over again

thats the sweetest thing i've ever heard.

stay strong brett, you've got all of IA's thoughts and prayers :goodjob:

[Brett]

Her left side seems to be getting stronger, from what her mom told me about 30 minutes ago when they tried to change the IV Needle in her left hand they ended up having to have someone hold her left arm down due to the pain of changing the needle because her left arm was fighting it, and she said Leisa's left arm has some strength in it today. BUT she said we really need Leisa to ATLEAST if she cant wake up yet to start to respond to commands so show her brain is working on that, but she hasnt started doing that yet. But It seems if she can wake up her left side may show signs it could make a recovery which is exciting.

KEEP PRAYING!! NOW START TO PRAY SHE WAKES UP BEFORE MONDAY!! That is the day if she doesnt they will have to do a Trac in her throat because they have to take the breathing tube out of her mouth so it doesnt damage her vocal cords, etc which happens if it stays in to many days.

[JessAlba452]

Those are great signs and she is making progress! Will keep praying for her. Just keep at her side, she'll come back to you :D

[Kourt]

Anything thats not bad is an improvement, expecially if the swelling is going down and staying down. Talk to the doctors and see if you can bring in a radio and play her favorite music all day, something she knows and can respond to, anything to make her feel like home can help her come out of this. Along with stimulation and just hearing the voices of loved ones. I'm praying for Leisa and the family, my family went through something like the a few years ago and its not easy.

[Brett]

I will ask tonight and see if they will let me bring her one tomorrow so she can listen to all weekend

[IMPORTchic]

He is right....stuff to make her feel like she is home!!! Who knows...she might hear everything that is going on and be screming inside trying to respond!! She doesnt need to be over stimulated im sure but do keep talking to and touching her!!! There IS hope! =)

[Brett]

This morning she went down for a CT scan again, Since her drain tube from her head was clamped 48 hours ago, her brain has been draining on its own like our brain does, so the CT scan was done to confrim what the numbers were showing and the removed it this morning. So her brain now has no tubes. Today at 1:30 they will give insert a tube through her belly that will gi directly into her stomach so they can start giving her higher doses of nutrients/liquid food so it doesnt have to go through a thin tube in her mouth, so I hope this may give her more so it will give her more strength, But I dont know if this one will deliver the same or more nutrients to her.

She still though does not respond to command or wake up.

[v-empire]

i am certain and i have no doubt in my mind she will recover.

[Brett]

I hope you are right, trust me

[metalman]

I think you will find the nutrients are the same. The advantage of that type of feeding tube is that is more suitable for longer term use and avoids issues associated with the swallow reflex and they also avoid the possibility of a lung aspiration of foods which can lead to infections or improper insertion into airway rather then stomach.
My wife as an RN has inserted many NG (feeding)tubes so I rely on her for this general info. Hope it makes sense.

[Brett]

Thanks guys!!! I just hope she can/does wake up. The doctor wont say if he thinks she will or not, he just says he doesnt know. The bleed I do know in her pans when she had the stroke was a small bleed and was already stopped by the time she was at the hospital that night when they did the CT Scan. I was so glad this week her left side started reacting to pain (Since the first 6 days only her right side was) so I hope this means as her swelling goes down the rest will fall into place. The reperator is at 10 and her breathing is at 15 (meaning she breathes over what the machine breaths for her) and her pupils react to light in both eyes, Seems like all is getting better but she just doesnt show signs if waking up, Thats what hurts so bad.

PLEASE GUYS!! PRAY HARDER

If anyone who knows her (Only people I say who know her personally because they still dont want to many people stimulating her) can come this weekend, Just let me know. I will be there all weekend. They did finally alow the TV in her room to be turned on, they have it on a channel that just plays nature sounds and soothing music.

[Nomad!]

Hopefully the progression will continue and she'll wake soon

[0p7!mu5]

im really rooting for her bro sounds like she is fighting as hard as she can man just have faith

[rupertaker]

I'm still praying for both Leisa and yourself.

I know we've never met but let me know if there's anything I can do for you this weekend, even if it's just something simple as bringing you lunch or a cup of coffee. My cell is 404-754-0970. Night or day.

[Brett]

No updates today, only new thing I saw her do today was she yawned a few times and thats new, But still she has not tried to wake up. I am so scared guys.... I am so scared she will not wake up or she will not be able to.

Only other thing today was when they were doing the suction on her mouth again (Which you all know by my other updates she always fights them on that) she bit down on the tube and when the nurse tried to pull it from her mouth Leisa wouldnt let go of it, and she had to keep yanking on it hard to, and finally just had to take her hand off it for a second, so Leisa would relax and let go. Granted I know she doesnt do this consciously but is cute to see her do it.

Her left side seems a tad stronger to and she did do full body stretches today where both arms, both legs and her body was stretching real hard.

[Double_0_Rusty]

Still praying bud, pull through this Leisa!

[ilovemyhonda.]

Still praying for you both.

[NEMO]

yawning is a good sign right?

I'm praying for her

[SOHC MONSTER]

Brett,
We don't know each other at all but I have seen you and your wife post on the boards. Its tragic to hear about this situation and you have my deepest condolences. My wife is an RN and she said that even though the patient is in a coma, they can still hear you. Be positive and be with her every second you can. You will be in our thoughts and if you need anything, please PM me.
-Brandon

[Shawna]

yawning is a good sign right?

I'm praying for her


they said it wasnt good or bad because nothing has ever been proven about why people yawn. I will say that when I was there she looks very peaceful... I plan on being there tomorrow for a couple hrs with my laptop so if any friends want to come youre more than welcome to sit with me

[Princess12]

Still praying... stay strong Brett.

[knightluder]

Hang in there Brett. She will wake up soon. Any word on if the docs would let you take a radio in there?
How about an update for today?
Let me know if yall need anything man

[Brett]

Today the doctor said if she doesnt wake up within 3 months, That is usually the time there is little to no hope.

[knightluder]

Well I know she will wake up before then. Just keep the positive mindset and pray for the best interest of her.

[2.3 Evo 8]

I have a feeling she is going to wake up in the next couple days.

Soon, your wife will be with you again.

[Brett]

^^ I wish that would happen man, more than you know.

[The Ren]

Brett its only been a bit over a week.. Dont give up hope.. There are too many signs of her doing better.. She will pull through..

[Brett]

It's been 12 days now, and I try and not give up but you all dont understand, i look at her EVERY day for hours, and its hard to keep hope when you dont see a slight thing that shows she is trying to wake up or will.

[The Ren]

I cant even imagine how you feel.. but just know we all are here for you.. praying.. and I tell you Brett.. your a strong man.. you gatta keep hope.. she needs you to now more than ever...

[Brett]

This morning at 7:30 they are doing her Trac in her throat so they can take the breathing tube from her mouth which will give her MUCH more comfort.

.... and trust me, I am not holding up well, I cry several times a day, sometimes with my head on her stomach.... I try not to cry in front of her, But I cant help it.

[Sammich]

keep trying to hang on man..leisa needs that from u..if she feels no love or no one cares, she's not gona recover as soon as she can...so keep showing u care brett, we are all pulling for her

[Brett]

Trust me I talk to her everyday, Run my fingers through her hair, Kiss her hand, arm, fingers lip hundreds of times a day, sometimes I cry but that atleast tells her to how scared I am and how much I love her to, And I tell her how I miss her, things about her I miss, etc

[Sammich]

KEEP DOING THAT MAN..KEEP DOING IT..SHE'LL COME BACK TO U

[SlowsterCivy]

I don't personally know you Brett. But I hope your wife comes back to you. I'm sorry that happen to her. Best wishes.

SlowsterCivy

[Black R]

my thoughts and prayers are with you.

i don't know either of you from adam, but that won't keep me from praying for you like you were one of my family.

[DevilK9]

Brett,

I just heard about this last night. My prayers are with you and your wife.
I can't imagine what you're going through, but stay strong.

Not much else I can say.

[HyPer50]

Keep the positive thoughts going Brett. I know it's gotta be unimaginably hard for you right now, but from my perspective of checking on her status through your updates on here, she seems to be improving bit by bit. I mean yawning may be involunatary, but I see that as a huge step to prove that her brain is functioning propery and she is coming back. Not to mention her fighting the nurses.. Keep the positive thoughts going man.

[Shawna]

It's been 12 days now, and I try and not give up but you all dont understand, i look at her EVERY day for hours, and its hard to keep hope when you dont see a slight thing that shows she is trying to wake up or will.



hun Im headed up there in a little while after i go hunting for gas....Im bringing my comp with me so ill keep you updated thru here and Ill see you when you get there after work

[Brett]

Will you be there still at 4:30? Thats when I am going to be there. Shawna please tell her what I am going through and how much I need her, tell her she has to come back to me and to all of us, because without her, I have no reason to be here

[Shawna]

yes baby i plan on going down there about 1ish once i finish up some things here at the house... Ill prolly stay with you until about 7ish. I plan on having a talk with her and making her understand that her not waking up isnt an option

[Brett]

Thank you, please explain to her she cant not, I am so scared though she wont, Its been 12 days now....

[Shawna]

i know i know remember she has 2 more days until her 2 week vacation is up lol shes going to wake up she just needed a little break

[Shawna]

Ok so im sitting with her...were watching food network lol....her color looks really good and her blood pressure is pretty consitant right now and reletively good. She doing a lot of moving today...huge stretches and moving her face around. Please keep on praying!!!

[Brett]

Hold her hand and tell her how I am falling apart without her

[Shawna]

Speak of the devil we were just discussing you...im still trying to bribe her with all the martinis she can drink.

[Civictyper95]

[Sammich]

any change?

X2..ANY UPDATES TODAY?

[dizzle]

had a few people praying for you at 12 stones this past sunday. im still praying for you every day. she'll pull through.

[Brett]

Hey guys, No real updates. Today is day #13 since the stroke. She has no shown signs of waking up yet, and I am really starting to get into a panic. I am so lost right now. Today they are going to try and start to wean her from the ventilator because in order for her to go to the Shepard Center for long term care (Thats supposed to be the best place) they have to have her breating on her own. So PLEASE pray she can start to do that over the next few days so we can get her into a place who specializes in brain injuries.

Bills are coming from all directions, that is another panic of mine because income is been slashed GREATLY now, and I just dont know which way is up and which way is down at this moment.

[Sammich]

im sorry brett about the bills...i know thats something thats gona keep coming regardless of what teh situation is...closest thing i can say to do is to simplify homie.

[Tiff-O-Bitties]

Brett, keep your head up. You'll find a way for the bills.. don't sweat it... As far as Leisa - Keep praying, I know I am. Love you both.

[Kevykev]

This is VERY Hard, i'm not even gonna sugarcoat it.

Brett, you don't know what lies in the future man, some things take time - we don't like to hear that but they do. :(

You know the plan of action with the bills.

[Brian*]

Bro, I don't know if I ever met you but it does not matter... I'm praying so hard for you and Leisa , my mom and dads church is praying for you and Leisa. Have faith, don't give up... She will be in your arms soon*
Remember we are all here for you, if you need us we are there!

[Nitro]

i know i know remember she has 2 more days until her 2 week vacation is up lol shes going to wake up she just needed a little break


that's what i'm talking about babes....rest & time is all she needed for a bit ;)

[bratgl10]

brett we have nevr met but that dont matter last week we put in for prayers at our church she is now listed in the daily prayer list so there is roughly 1400 familys that read and pray every day for each and ereryone on the list so we are working hard as we can for here recovery bepaitent and god will return here to you and your family and friends i know it is tough but you must stay as strong as you can we are here if you need any thing godbless all

[Hayes21890]

ive never met you also, but just hang in there as best as you can
try not to let the bills get to you right now, just look at it this way, when she wakes up, i would be more than happy to pay the DR's if i were you
without them who knows what could of happened
just keep your head up, she will pull thru man

[Brett]

My worries arent Dr. Bills, mine are daily life bills, Dr. Bills havent even come yet

[sr98219]

Brett, I know I haven't met ya, but just hold true to this saying. "God never gives you more than you can handle" It helped me alot when I was having some family medical issues a few months ago. My prayers are still with you and Leisa.

[Jimmy B]

Brett, I know I haven't met ya, but just hold true to this saying. "God never gives you more than you can handle" It helped me alot when I was having some family medical issues a few months ago. My prayers are still with you and Leisa.

That is true, no matter how hard it gets Brett, God will NOT put more than you can handle, even though it seemes like it sometimes.

God Bless you and Leisa, Brett!!

[Brett]

Oh I think he has put way more on me after some stuff I found yesterday than I will ever be able to handle. I just dont even know if I have the will to keep living now to be honest.

[falconey]

Oh I think he has put way more on me after some stuff I found yesterday than I will ever be able to handle. I just dont even know if I have the will to keep living now to be honest.

Not much advice anyone can give you. Just look for strength wherever you can find it and take things day by day. My prayers are with you.

[LiL PaKi]

Brett you have to stay strong!! we are all still praying

[Mike Lowrey]

I just dont even know if I have the will to keep living now to be honest.

This is defenitely not the way to be talking.

[Sammich]

KEEP TRYING BRETT..THATS ALL I CAN SAY HOMIE

[HyPer50]

I just dont even know if I have the will to keep living now to be honest.


Dude you know my thoughts and prayers are with you and Leisa, but I think that gives her one more (on top of the already huge list) reason to wake up, just to kick you in the balls for saying something like that. Stay strong and try your best to stay positive.

[Black R]

Brett, if you haven't set up a site yet check out

http://www.caringbridge.org/

That way people can check back up on Leisa's condition and leave posts etc.

[Ran]

Keep hanging in there man. It won't be long.

[Brett]

Today is 2 weeks that it happened and that she has been in a coma and not showing signs of waking up. Only good thing is they have weaned her from the ventilator so she is pretty much breathing on her own, But not showing signs of waking up.

[GGPIS3]

just getting wind of this... i am truly sad to hear of this situation. my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. it must be extremely hard to be going through this, but your strength and love is what she needs now more than ever. don't give up bro! there is always hope!!

[2.3 Evo 8]

I just dont even know if I have the will to keep living now to be honest.

I'm sorry people but I gotta say this.

SLAP! Stop this nonsense Brett!

You sound like your ready to hang it up and quit when all these people are behind you and supporting you. Why should they pray if you already sound like your giving up?

Brett, as hard as this is to deal with this is just not the way to talk. Life throws you challenges/curveballs and it's how you deal with them that make your learn and grow in life. You're a grown man and you already know this.

You must stay strong and stop this "I can' keep living nonsense". Negetivity and talking like that isn't helping the situation, your friends, family, and all your supporters.

People lose loved one every day, but talking about ending your own life because of it is just plain stupid!

Everybody is still standing behind YOU, LISA, and your family praying every day. Stay STRONG for your loved ones and friends!

/rant

[itsjustdee]

I'm at a loss for words as I'm going through this thread. Just know Brett that my heart goes out to you and Leisa. I love you both dearly and you will get through this. She will come back to you!

[HalfBaked]

You should update the 1st page whenever you do an update.

That way we don't have to find updates since we aren't all on the same page setting...

[Brett]

I would never end my own life, trust me on that, I am just saying I dont feel a reason to want to live (Like enjoy life, etc) without her.

[Sammich]

when my father was dying 17 years ago my mom felt the same way..but leisa has a great chance of coming back..so u need to quit the melarchy brett

[Shawna]

Im here at the hospital for those that would like to co,e up here....text me if u have my number if not pm me and ill give it to you

[metalman]

I would never end my own life, trust me on that, I am just saying I dont feel a reason to want to live (Like enjoy life, etc) without her.

I think thats a very understandable emotion...not one that can be fully appreciated unless experienced either.

Your friends here obviously want the very best for you and are praying for Leisa. Keep your chin up man, and dont be afraid to lean on your friends. Its not an imposition to them, nor does that make you weak. Its good from them to help others and probably good for you too.

[BlackDubs]

My prayers go out for her and you. She will pull through...

[Brett]

She is breathing on her own, they just have oxygen blowing into the neck where they did the trac in BUT I have not seen her move at all in 2 days, which kinda lets me down. Still no attempt on her part to wake up or any signs its going to happen soon, I just dont understand why she cant wake up.

[SlowsterCivy]

She'll wake up Brett. Have faith.

[Nomad!]

Stay strong man. She'll pull through.

[Brett]

No updates today, I havent seen her really move around in 2 days and the nurses say the only time she moves is when they do pain tests on each leg & arm to make sure she still responds to pain.

[JessAlba452]

She`ll pull through. Keep your head up Brett! :)

[Brett]

Okay, I just got a call from Northside and she will be transferred to the long term facility today at 2:00pm. So from here on out, if anyone wants to come see her she will no longer be at Northside.

[DJ Maestro]

Brett, I'll be praying that Leisa gets so irritated by the move that she wakes up and starts complaining about all the ruckus. :goodjob:

Hang in there bud.

[Tracy]

Brett,

I live about 5 minutes (probably less) from the new Hospital. If you need a place to take a break for a while, or a home cooked meal or a shower or whatever (anything that you don't want to have to drive home for), let me know. You can even keep some things at my house if you need to. I will PM you my cell. I get home from work at 4 and I usually have dinner ready at 8. There is always plenty to share since it is only Dan an I. Whatever you need, just let me know.

[StupidBikerBoy]

Wow, Im really sorry to hear about this. I dont get to post on here much, but I will keep up on this and keep you 2 in our prayers.

[IMPORTchic]

Was definately thinking about yall hard core tonight while at the V. Hope things are getting better and you are situated in the new hospital! Keep your head up Brett! =)

[Brett]

Thanks, I struggle everyday to keep my head up as each day goes and she doesnt wake up

[Tracy]

Sweetheart, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!I hope you take me up on it. I know how it is being at the hospital a lot waiting for someone to wake up. You want to stay close, but sometimes you need a break. Also, if you want me to bring anything to ya, just let me know and I will run out and get it and bring it to you. I know the area, obviously.

[Dr. K8]

Just found these two photos from my graduation party :) We're still thinking about you, Leisa. We love you so much.

[AtifSajid]

stay strong bro..I pray for her everyday!!

[The Ren]

I have been praying too Brett.. Like Tracy said.. if you need anything let me know..

[willum14pb]

ill continue to pray.. just think, she hasn't lasted this long to give up! she'll pull through buddy.


p.s. wtf is up with yousef lurking in all these photos with leisa?! I think i saw him in a photo with brett and leisa in the bedroom?! guess you need someone for the filming eh brett? :P

[FriskyWalrus]

im still praying for you guys. in all honesty, i believe she will wake up sooner than later

[B16a2 Civic]

Brett, I'm still pulling for her, I think and hope for her everyday and check on this thread often through my sidekick, Leisa is a strong woman, she'll make it. Woman always keep us waiting, they are never ready when we are. Keep faith and faith won't let you down

[Brett]

Well guys, yesterday was not a good day for her. She had a 102 Degree fever over night Friday night through most of yesterday, Then her breating started to become a tad eratic so they had to put her on the ventilator again and then her blood pressure bottomed out VERy low.

Leisa's mom had to chew this place out this morning due to have have not bathed her since she was moved Thursday, or done other things to take care of her so when I go down there today, I will see what is going on as well.

But In some ways it seems she made some steps backwards which is not good. Guys, PLEASE I BEG, Pray harder. She is all I have in this world, I can not have a life without her.

[Shawna]

baby that was a big move for her...it prolly stressed her out shes going to be fine stay strong Brett I love you both

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

Stay strong man.

[Brett]

I went to go see her today, gave her lots of kisses on her lips and hands, held her hand and talked for a bit, while her mom was yapping for ever on my cell phone I even put it up to Leisa's ear so she can have to listen to her for a bit...lol

Today she is stable. Blood pressure is fine and they say she has some sort of infection but they dont know from what yet, lab results should be back by tomorrow. Her kidney levels are elevated but they say it could be from her 102 fever yesterday so they are watching that as well.

[JessAlba452]

Keep on doing what you're doing Brett she will come back to you! Have faith :)

[Brett]

Well guys, I wish today was looking better but Leisa now has a staff infection in her blood. This I am told can be fatal especially when her brain and body are so weak. Now her eyes do not react to light like they have been when they would shine a light in her eye, that is a major concern for them as well now, and add that she is back on the ventilator. When I opened one of her eyes yesterday to look her eyes looked so glassy. Leisa’s mom even know is telling me I may want to start looking into funeral arrangements or services, etc because even now she feels in her heart like I do, that Leisa is not going to wake up and now may be a matter of time before her body cant hold out.

[Sammich]

man that is hardcore hurtful man..i really hope she fights this off brett..keep hope alive..i will

[Brett]

There is really nothing point in a direction showing any hope of her ever waking up, at this point I can only pray whatever is going on inside her takes her so we can put her to rest, she is tired, her body is tired, I can see it when I look at her. She has nothing left in her to fight.

damn man i can hear the hurt in your heart while i read this. i dont even know what to say at this point..u and leisa are like the odd perfect couple and i cant imagine u w/o her...i just hope she pulls thru all of this and comes back into your life

my heart goes out to you big homie

[Red_Phoenix]

DON'T GIVE UP!! Sometimes things get WAY worse before they get better. Hang in there!

[LiL PaKi]

damn I don't know what to say.. Hang in there Brett.. You never know what could happen tomorrow.. wait for a Miracle.

[HalfBaked]

Dude you gotta stop being some emo.

If you give up she'll give up, you don't think the vibes your body gives off people don't notice.

Keep your chin up and stay positive and good things will happen. If you just walk around waiting for something bad to happen it will. Stay positive as hard as it is and just wait. Good things will happen.

It took my aunt's husband over a month to open his eyes. His stroke was a MASSIVE one.

Just keep it positive man, only time will tell. I can only IMAGINE how HARD it is to do so.

[DJ Maestro]

Brett, hang in there buddy. I hate to hear that her condition has gotten worse, but you have to keep the faith that she will pull through. Without hope, there is nothing. We're all behind you here man. :goodjob:

Im not giving up but her body is showing the signs she doesnt have the fight and this stroke is not like most peoples strokes, this was a PONS Stroke which where it happened in her brain is why her chances are MUCH less that anyone elses, Blood leaks into the stem cells which cuts off oxygen to her brain in that area which in turn kills a part of her brain, this is why her chance at this point of ever waking up is so slim and add the new things that have happened the past 48 hours, Its to the point she is so unstable they are having to move her back to Northside. She is that unstable now.

I know you all know people who have had strokes, etc with good endings, But I will bet none of them had a PONS Stroke. This is a very different type of stroke.

[Sammich]

my heart is with u thru it all man...

Hey Brett,

I know that there is really nothing that we can do to take this worry and pain away from you, but just know that there is not a day that goes by I dont think about you and Leisa man. Please no matter how bad things may seem, dont lose hope, because your faith and hope are the most important things right now.

[UpSideDownDesi]

we are all still praying for a miracle Brett. I know it's very hard, but hold in there man.

[TheProfiteer]

=(

This just is not fair is it man?

One day your happy care free driving with the top down on your S2K, and the next a world of Sh!t falls into your lap. The things life does to us, kinda makes us wonder how we can keep going.

Keep Strong man, if things turn for the worse, and we are all praying that it will not, her kids have a great man to look after them.

[HyPer50]

I'm still praying man... Stay strong.

[4dmin]

Hey buddy i know no one can tell you what you need to hear but stay strong for leisa and know kate & i will keep you in our thoughts. i'll give you a ring later once i've made it back into town.

[Shawna]

dang it Brett you have me in tears... I know there is nothing that I can say to make this better or take the hurt away but I am here for you

[Tiff-O-Bitties]

Oh Brett... I just read this and teared up again.. I'm so sorry. I have prayed non-stop since day one and I will continue... I hate this so bad.

[ultm8mind]

Damn Bro, I have seen you on here for years and read all the rants and all the cracks on you and seemed to have taken it like a champ. You seem like a genuinely good person, and I feel for you. I do, I read this on the daily hoping your girl pulls out of it and I know nobody on here can imagine what you are going through. But I think of how it would be for my boys and I if this were to happen to my wife and think you are handling this way better than I could. My thoughts go out to you, remember to take care of yourself too though.

[knightluder]

I am speachless man. We are here for you and praying for a miracle here.
Please keep us updated if you have anymore updates.

When are they moving her back to Northside?

[Shawna]

they are moving her right now....Brett is up there with Leisa's mom and Brittanee. She's not seeing anyone yet.

[knightluder]

Okay cool. Thanx
I feel so bad for Brett. He has been through soo much.

[Shawna]

yea I was on the phone with him earlier when he was on his way down there. he needs us more than ever right now

[knightluder]

Yeah, Definately. Tell him if he needs anything around the house done, to let me know cause I live less than 5 mins away and can help him out on anything.

[Shawna]

will do...I dont even know if he got around to taking care of the yard....i think his bif focus right now are all of the bills that are starting to come in

[knightluder]

Yeah, Thats what he said a few nights ago when we went over and talk with him for a while and took them a card and flowers.
I am sure he will pick up on that pretty quick. The main things are the Mortgage, Insurance, Lights and cars.

[Shawna]

hes hanging in there but things are starting to pile up but as long as we stay strong for him hell keep moving foward each day

[Princess12]
