Chrys’s Story

Site created on July 19, 2019


Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.


On Wednesday, July 17 Chrys suffered a stroke at her home. Fortunately, her '5-hour-a-week-yard-man' Martyn was there and able to summon Chrys' son Kirk who immediately got her to Kennestone hospital. She underwent surgery to remove a clot from her brain and a subsequent second surgery to remove a blood clot on her leg.


Her family, friends, and other loved ones are praying for a speedy recovery.

Journal entry by Linda Beggs

Hello Friends,

It's been a while since anyone has posted here so I'll give a quick update.

Chrys is settled in at home with 24/7 care. Her primary weekday caregiver, Joyce, is a lovely person who is happy to welcome visitors. I suggest calling the home number (770-428-7869) before visiting so Joyce can have her up and ready. I've visited on the weekends but I believe the caregiver rotates.

A team (Laura & Kate) from St. James visited for communion last Tuesday. Kirk and Tressa were there, along with myself. Chrys said she was happy. :)

While Chrys is not fully capable of participating in a conversation as she could before her stroke, she does enjoy the company of people. As before, visiting in pairs helps keep the conversation flowing. She appreciates a dark chocolate nibble as well. She looks well and content, which is a blessing.

I know Chrys and her family appreciate your prayers and well-wishes.

xoxo,
Linda
