This has been an extremely hard week for the Fuller Family. My Dad went in for open heart surgery on Friday, Aug 30th. They put a bovine valve in his heart and all went great. On Saturday they got him out of bed, stood him up, put him back to bed and things were looking good.
Suddenly he changed for the worse and the brain team was called in. He was rushed to their department where it was discovered that there was a blood clot in his brain. They were able to suction it out. He had a stroke and we are waiting for the damage that it caused.
A couple of days ago he was mouthing words and moving both legs, which was a fantastic sign, but then yesterday he slept all day long and is now back to what he was a couple of days ago.
This has been a set back that is so hard for Mom. She so faithfully does not leave his side for long periods of time. I know that she is tired as I can hear it in her voice and see it in her face but her loyalty keeps her going.
We have so many family members and friends that are showing their love for Dad and Mom by their constant out pouring of prayer and thought. Thanks for you diligence in doing this for my parents. It is appreciated more than you will ever know. Friends and family have been a constant at the hospital visiting with Mom and cheering her up.
Mom and Dad have been married for 64 years and in October they will have known each other for 65. What a legacy they are to our family. Their love runs true and deep. It is the Cinderella story of all times.
A picture of true and tender love!!
I love you, my sweet parents.
Dad, please hurry and wake up. We miss your sweet voice and your funny jokes. We miss your hugs and tender kisses. I am counting the days till I get moved closer to you. It will be so fun to see you every day. We will go fishing and walking in the mountains. We will go riding and counting the deer. I love you with all my heart and am praying for your recovery constantly.
