Guys, PLEASE PLEASE pray for my wife Leisa. Tonight she had a massive stroke and is now in a coma and they do not know if she will ever wake up again. She is the love of my life and I do not know what I will do if I loose her. They have said tonight that if she does not wake up within the next week, she will not wake up and she will pass away.

PLEASE, I beg you all..... Pray for her.

I am just totally lost right now, I had to call 9-1-1 when it happened and then she was airlifted to Northside in Sandy Springs, they can not operate on her because where it is in her brain is un reachable. They have said its now up to her, and her alone to pull through and her brain to come through this. Even if she does as of right now she has no movement in the left side of her body, I am so scared of loosing her, I have not cried this much in my life... Our 10 year anniversary is this April, She HAS to be there for it.

I just got home for the night because they said there is nothing else that can be done tonight so I will go back first thing in the morning.

Right now be with her as much as you can if they let you. Its weird sometimes but somehow people still feel when theyre in such conditions I believe. Just be with her and pray for the best. We will be.

I know it seems like a cliche, but it is for a reason. We might not be able to see what this reason is right now, or maybe we don't even want to see what it is. But there is one. It might just be to make you realize how important she is in your life. (I know you already know that, I'm just saying) and when she pulls through this, you won't take anything for granted. Neither will she. It might be to help you look at your life and see what things are important, and when she pulls through you two will see things in a different light. I know this might not make any sense, or whatever. But I realized this when I lost my dad. I know it's not the same thing. I am not going to try to tell you that I know how you feel, cause I would be lying. But remember, keep your faith. God will pull both of you through... Not sure how religious you are... But you remember Job? all he went through just to prove his faith... We are here for you man. Whatever you need!


P.S. not trying to start a religious fight. This is not the time or the place. So if you would like to comment against this, then take it somewhere else. kthxbye :goodjob:

Brett, whenever i see you two around its awesome... Such a perfect match.

SHE WILL BE OK MAN, positive thoughts only bro. I will definitely extend a prayer and she will pull through.

She's awesome and will definitely pull through, I remember a few months ago I had to meet up with her at BP for something and she's always seriously like the nicest IRL IA person thus far...

I don't know what to say, but if there is anything I can do please let me know (genuine offer, not just saying it to say it)

Brett. You and I have known each other, personally, for seven years running, man. Along with Leisa. Between all the car shows we did together, the combined club meets, the surveys, the IA events and whatever else came up, we've always had the greatest times. And all this, of course, included Leisa. We'll definitely have more of those times in the future, Leisa won't, and can't, leave you or us. She'll fight back with everything she has and will be on the boards posting her Happy Birthday wishes to everyone soon enough. We both know that. I know that I will be thinking about this all day, dude.

You have my number.....call me, man. Seriously. I'll be on the road all day so I ave plenty of time to take call to talk to you.

Laer, QD.

Thank you everyone, reading all this had me crying again this morning. I am about to head to her work to see what kind of benefits she has because even if she pulls through she will not be able to work again they say, so now the reality of bills (House, car payments, etc) are what also kept me up all night because I dont know how I am going to stay afloat if its just me.

I kept reading through this thread hoping that for some reason this was an akward joke, as IA is rarely brought to a serious level. Now that I have reached the end and realize this is no joke I am genuinely concerned for someone whom I don't know from Adam. So Brett, I know we've never met, but I'm so sorry. I don't really know what else to say to/for you except that all you can do is find your own way to cope until she comes back to you. Until then, I'm sure there are plenty of people in your life to lean on, so my thoughts and prayers go out to you and Leisa.

Brett, keep your head up and be strong because Leisa needs you right now. I know what you're going through because the same thing happened to my dad. Talk her, stay by her side as much as you can, and most of all try to have faith in her and her recovery. This is the very last thing I'm sure most of us were wanting to hear about someone who seems to be a great individual and also the love of your life and I can honestly say that Im shaken, over a person I do not know....

She is the love of my life and I do not know what I will do if I loose her. They have said tonight that if she does not wake up within the next week, she will not wake up and she will pass away.

PLEASE, I beg you all..... Pray for her.

Have faith, she will pull through this.....you have to stay strong for her.

A similiar situation happened with my Aunt 9 yrs ago....she was in a coma for almost 2 weeks.....my uncle risked losing his job, both his mental and physical health, and even being escorted off the hospital premisis....but he didnt leave her side the entire time. Instead he was there right next to her in her bed holding her hand. He read to her...her favorite books, old love notes from thier college days and even old birthday cards from their kids......he showed her photo albums, explaining each pictures story to her...even almost holding conversations with her, as if it were any other normal day...basically in his mind, there was nothing he wouldnt do, no amount of time, and no person on this earth that was going to take her from him........her passing was not an option for him, he kept the thought furthest from his mind....eventually she woke up. Be strong and fight for her..... anything is possible if you want it bad enough

I'll keep her in my thoughts

Listen, I know that this time can be tough....VERY tough. However, I don't want you to beat yourself up over this or anything like that. Both you and Leisa are great people and you don't deserve this at all. Don't ever question that. Just keep your head up and have faith that she will pull through. The human body is an amazing thing and has done amazing things in terms of recovery that even blow the doctors away. They told my parents that I wouldn't even wake up for the first two days...that all was lost. By the 5th or 6th day, they said that I might wake up, but that I wouldn't even know who they were or if I would even be able to function normally in life again. I pulled through and so can Leisa. Don't get down, don't give up...she can pull through this.

Brett,

I will pray for her man. I just found out and it was very shocking. Let me know if you need anything. Man this was a shock..life never gives you notice, you never know when something can happen to someone you've known for quite sometime and you would never think something would happen to them...I have her in my prayers man.

I figured that it might help. They had the priest at my bed and everything. I was in BAD shape. I was not expected to live...seriously. It was horrible, yet look at me now. The doctors still have NO clue how I was able to recover. Leisa can do it as well...I know she can. The body's will to live is amazing. Leisa is strong. I have faith that she can make it through this.

Had to make time to get on...

I turned off my music and prayed for her all the way to work this morning. I know you feel helpless and hopeless, you just really have to pray, have faith and put it in God's hands. I know it is scary but it could end up being a really great testimony one day. Keep your head up. You've got lots of support.

if anyone is going up there in the next 30 min.. pm me/call me/text me 706-455-8270 i'll ride out during lunch!!!

Haven't seen you guys in years it seems. For a sec at a Varsity meet a while back, a little bit at Buffalos, and then the Batlground BBQ. Always super nice in person. Hope she'll pull through it and be back to normal. I had a cousin that had a blood clot and had the same thing happen, after a year of rehabilitation he is starting college of all things. People can overcome crazy stuff.

UPDATE #2:

CT scan results are back. Neurologist says that she hasn't had any changes from previous scan.....which is actually GOOD news! :cheers: Although she is still in a coma, her brain is not bleeding any more and pressure has been stabilized for now. She is on a ventilator eventhough she can technically breathe on her own. DR's are using the ventilator to keep Leisa from laboring and allowing her to be as stress free as possible.

Arrangements have been made to get Brittnee picked up, so Brett will be at the Hospital all day now. It would be nice if the first people going up there take Brett something to eat. He's not eaten all day.

I'll keep yall updated.

Prayers are still needed.

Guys, PLEASE PLEASE pray for my wife Leisa. Tonight she had a massive stroke and is now in a coma and they do not know if she will ever wake up again. She is the love of my life and I do not know what I will do if I loose her. They have said tonight that if she does not wake up within the next week, she will not wake up and she will pass away.

PLEASE, I beg you all..... Pray for her.

Brett, Jaime called me earlier and I am in complete shock and devestation. She is in my prayers and my family's and friend's as well! I will be there tonight for moral support and I am so sorry. I love Leisa so much I don't know what to do!!! :cry: She will pull through this.. she is so strong... talk to her and tell her all the good memories, make her want more... she'll come through... If you need me to stay with the kids or do anything, you know I will and please don't hesitate to ask... I love you both so very much!!! I just found a pic from her bday party at Outback a few years back and thought Leisa looked too cute... here ya go! Maybe bring a smile to your face!

He came out alive and he wasnt expected to live past 2 months, He is 12 months old now, sitting up and starting to talk. He has far surpassed everything the doctors ever hoped for him and now they say he may live a full life. Just keep the faith and tell her as much as possible how much you need her to come back.

I could barely concentrate at work, and all I could think about it you, Leisa, and Brittanee. I hate that something like this had to happen to such great people. It's just not fair! I told Jon Padolsky about what happened and him and his wife are praying for her too!! We want to come down there to visit tonight, so Chuck, and Jon and I might all come down once I get out of school. I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking about you. Don't lose hope man, talk to her, tell her you love her, I know she can hear you, she just can't say it back right now. You guys are definitely in my thoughts and prayers right now. Brittanee has my number please please do not hesitate to let us know if you need anything at all. You have always been a really great friend to Chuck, and have always been good to me to. Love you guys! :cry:

She is not allowed flowers, Due to her being in ICU :(

I have tried to let people know I cant bring every person who shows up to see her due to brain can not have to much stimulation, noise, etc... But some people I am trying to get in there for her to hear thier voices and I tell her about each person who came to see her who wasnt able to make it in there.

Latest update:

Last night, Leisa responded to our conversation....(don't yall wish yall knew what she and I talked about.....;) ). So much so, that she had to be sedated a little to bring her heart beat, which went from 98 to 108, back down and make her relax. We're taking that as a "good" sign. She had a little swelling on her brain, which was some cause of concern, but they started medication to control that right away. By the time we left, it was back down to the acceptable level. Again, "good" news.

This morning, situation was relatively unchanged, which again is better than the alternative. They did discover a slightly elevated level of something in her kidneys, but the results of that will not be in until later this afternoon. I don't think this is cause to be alarmed right now either, but we'll know for sure when the results come in later today.

She is relaxed and still responding to certain people. Brett is continuing his bedside vigil and will be there all weekend long. Anyone wanting to visit with him is welcomed to. Please make note of the visiting hours and gauge accordingly.

Prayers are STILL NEEDED, so let's keep that going. Financial help is STILL NEEDED, so keep that coming too. Overall support has been fantastic, so KEEP THAT COMING TOO.

I'll keep everyone updated. :goodjob:

I am up and back in the waiting room, from 7am-9am I have to leave the room. She had a pretty stable night, I slpet in the room. She has been running a slight fever all night and has not really given me any more movements when I talk to her, which is kind of depressing to me, becuase I take her hand movements as signs she hears me, But I am trying to not let that affect me. About 4am when they were putting a new tube in her mouth they had to hold her right arm and leg down because she was trying to fight them doing it, I dont know how much of that is reflex or how much is her just showing she doesnt like what they are doing. I didnt get any sleep, The room was literally like a cooler because of her fever so I was freezing all night and a few times I have to leave the room while to do routine things through the nigjht.

She is stable still, so thats all I can really say.... we are on day #3 now, I do not uslally pray, but last night I begged for her to be brought back to me.... I know you all care so much, but you need to understand.... if she does not pull through and she gives up the fight or her brain does not let her come back..... I will be lost in this world, she is what gives me reason to even try to be a better man every day of my life, and to want to be on this earth... without her.... What is my reason for being?

Thank you ALL for everything, some of you I saw sent Paypal donations, and you all are amazing..... It does help ease my mind on that front and allows me to focus it on Leisa 100%.

To those of you who have come out, and I wouild name names but I would feel like complete sh*t if I missed someone when I do, so just know, YOU ALL are amazing to me, some each night have stayed here with me till midnight (Last night till almost 1am when I had to finally go back to her room and attempt to get some sleep)

To those of you praying and spreading the word for others to pray, THANK YOU as well, that is just as important as anything else and means just as much.

IA has really rallied behind Leisa and behind me to keep me strong for her, It is hard, I wont lie... I have not had a day since Wednesday night when she came in that I have not cried atleast 12 times or more...... Leisa is my everyting.....

Baby... you have to come home.... Please......

Still got Leisa in my prayers Brett! This really is a heartbreaking story and I cant even begin to imagine how you feel and I know its got to be hard to be strong for her and yourself but it sounds like you are doing an amazing job! Not giving up is key....and I know what you mean by signs...Im a big believer as well! and you should take it all as signs cause maybe thats how she is tryin to let you know shes still here and is tryin a little at a time to fight more and more to come back. Its amazing what love will do!...Hang in there Brett!

Which hospital is she at? My mom is the former VP of Nursing at Northside but used to work at several other ATL hospitals as well. She might know someone at the hospital that could work some of those costs down for you. Let me know if you want me to ask.

keep your head up bro

One of my good friends was under for about 30 days and he's up and well and its been over a year now, He was in a coma so long that he needed rehab afterwards to relearn how to walk, etc... he had muscle atrophy or whatever too... lost a LOT of weight.... but now he's 100% back to normal

EVERYONE thought he was done for, including some doctors, but we kept on... kept visiting/praying... and He woke up a month later. So yeah 3 days is nothing, her body just needs to work itself out of it, which she will do...

Hold in there man. You're doing the best thing you can by providing so much support. Nothing heals someone faster than a great family and friends.

I'll be calling my mom in about an hour. I'll let you know what she says, at least I can get the names of the top doctors for you.


Just got off the phone with my mom, I'll be getting an email from her soon with info. Whats the best way to get it to Brett?

This morning the took her down for her Cat Scan, they said her body did well for the move and she is back in her room, and vitals are stable. No real changes except her Kidneys are getting back within normal ranges today and they have made a slight adjustment on the breathing machine this morning. Instead of it doing it all for her, they are trying to let her do some of it, but the machone is still doing it just not 100% now, I dont know what the CT scan will say, But I hope the breathing change is a step.... God I need her back.

I told you, Brett, all is not lost. She can pull through this. :) The body/mind are amazing things. Many times they do things well beyond what the doctors predict. The lungs will pull through and so will she.

According to her AVATAR, she will be back. She needs to snap out if it simply to see how many people were there by her side. Just knowing that she received SOOO MUCH Support and Love will be enough to heal her. Love works wonders.

Brett, just like what I told you in the family area, you're my inspiration man. You are doing not just your best but THE BEST job at handling this deal.

Latest update:

As Brett stated, Leisa has been weined off the sedation medicine, yet she's still not responding as the doctors hoped. Brett needs our prayers and support more than ever today and tomm. They would like for her to give some signs of consciousness, but it's not happening right now. They can only keep the breathing tube in, which is in her throat, for so long before they have to take it out due to irritation and possible infections. If it continues, she will have to have a tracheatomy to continue with the breathing aid. This is pretty much standard procedure for someone in her condition. Doctors are trying to stay optimistic, but the next two days are pivotal.

We need everyone to stay focused and help Brett and Leisa. Prayers and support is what is needed.

She had no movement over night and with her being taken off yesterday off the sedation I really need her to move and show signs of trying to come back, The doctor says if she doesnt in a couple more days that is a huge problem and she will be moved to a facility to get taken care off and still will not know if she will ever wake up.
