Mari’s Story

Site created on December 4, 2021

Mari was diagnosed with Covid on November 19, 2021 . On Monday, November 29, Neal was trying to wake her to go to an appointment but she was unresponsive, she had labored breathing but was breathing on her own. Neal called an ambulance and she was taken to the hospital.

It was discovered that her blood sugar level was over 900. She has never been diagnosed as diabetic.
Since the 29th, she has been sedated while hospital staff have been bringing her vitals to normal ranges. As part of this, she has been having non-convulsive seizures so they are keeping her sedated while working through this.

Prayers for my mom are very welcome. Please also lift up my dad as well.

Journal entry by Tim and Cyndi Powell

Mom has been home for almost a week now.  She's been plugging away with her therapy and has been getting better and better.  She can even walk up the 13 steps at home!  Moms therapists have said that the progress that she has made has been really great, the therapist said that they haven't seen anyone recover from two strokes as quickly as she has.  Mom has told them that it's because of all of the prayer support!

Some great news is that she was able to make it to Church this morning!  It was great that she could see and talk with so many that have been praying for her.  It was a really nice morning.  It was good to get hugs!

A special note from Mom:  Thank you all for your prayers.  They have done amazing things and I don't know that I would be where I am if it wasn't for all of the prayer.  I get tired easily so it's hard to talk to all of you but know that I love you all!
