As some of you may know, my sister, Lauren, just had a beautiful baby girl and brought her home last Thursday. A few days later, Lauren wasn't feeling great and was admitted back into the hospital. Her blood pressure was spiking and she had terrible heacdaches. She couldn't even lie down or else her blood pressure would go through the roof. The doctors ran a series of tests, and determined that it was late stage pre-eclampsia. Late last night, she was taken off the medications to see if her body would return to normal on its own. And then they discovered a brain aneurysm. She is now in the ICU, waiting for the next move. My dad talked to her this morning and said her speech was slurred, and part of her face is paralyzed. Luckily, my mom was already down there to help with the baby, and Lauren's husband has been by her side at the hospital. I am so scared for her right now, and I can just imagine the fear that she is feeling as well. Please, if you can, send a few prayers her way so that she may be able to go home and take care of her baby Julia.

Care - we will definitely keep Lauren in our prayers - and your entire family. Rebekah and Kimo.
Oh, Carolyn, what an awful thing to happen. I will be thinking good thoughts for Lauren and your family.
Oh, that is so scary. I went through this with my dad when I was in high school. He had the same thing and he was paralyzed in his face and his speech was slurred and it was so scary. He also had the brain aneurysm. He pulled through it and he got his speech back and his face went back to normal. It took a few months but everything was ok. I will pray for her.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Lauren and the rest of your family. Please let us know what else we can do!
Sending prayers for your sister and for your family.
Wow...this brought tears to my eyes. Your whole family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Oh my heck. I can't beleive it! My thoughts will be with her and you.
