Dawn’s Story

Site created on November 19, 2018

Dawn has undergone two surgeries to repair a diseased artery in her brain that had 2 aneurysms. So that there is no further danger of rupture, the artery has been closed off, causing minor stroke symptoms. Her recovery time will be months, and friends and family have already been a great help to her family's spirits, but the Moffitts welcome any and all gestures to help out, whether its dropping off dinner, running errands, or sitting with Dawn.  At this time she is at New Hanover Regional Medical Center but she will transition home soon

Journal entry by Laura Moffitt

Hi all, sorry we’ve been quiet for a few days. Mom has been in good health, she doesn’t seem to have any major neuropathy or physical stroke symptoms like paralysis, probably a result of her healthy lifestyle for so many years. 

The hospital “sick” wards are running out of resources to help her, and are trying to decide what the best course of rehab could be. She still has work to do in cognitive rehab, but until she gets started in that area, it’s hard to say how far we have to go. Please pray and hope that answers are provided so that she can keep moving forward.

She may be coming home early next week, so if anyone is available for visits then, we’d welcome visitors at Dawn’s house. I will likely post a CaringBridge link so those of you who have been chomping at the bit can finally spend some quality time with our girl!
