Carla’s Story

Site created on September 26, 2019

Welcome to our CaringBridge website.  We are creating this site to keep everyone informed, as it is impossible to reach out to everyone individually. This is Jen, her daughter, posting. Mom was airlifted to Mayo Clinic this morning around 3:30.  They found that she had an aneurysm/stroke and fluid around the brain.  They have placed a drain to relieve pressure and did an angiogram to coil the aneurysm. She is in ICU and will be for 1-2 weeks.  The doctors let us know that it will be a rollercoaster ride for the next few days to a week.  There will be ups and downs.  We are not out of the woods.  We appreciate all of the thoughts and prayers that you have all sent. I will update this as things progress.
