  • Notes 
    • Brenda had a brain stem stroke on Dec 21, 1992. It completely paralyzed her for a period of about 2 months. After that time , rehab attempts failed to help her to regain use of her limbs. She was entered in to a nursing home in Columbus, MS where she still needs help to turn her body every 2 hours to keep away bed sores. Brenda still has her mind and watches TV all the time she is awake. She can remember telephone numbers she had used before she had the stroke. Her speech is very poor and most of the time we use a board for her to spell out words when she wants to tell us something. Brenda suffers from Lupus and strokes are common with some kinds of Lupus. Her Doctor had told her that some of her medication could cause strokes, but she was forced to take some medication to try to cope with her condition. At one time she had to have her spleen removed to try to raise her blood count.
