Mama Trudy update - 3:15 PM

Just talked to Mama Trudy.  Doctor just left her with the results of the ultra-sound that was done late yesterday.  The U-S showed that her carotid artery on one side is 85% blocked.  He said that if the U-S is correct, she is not showing normal symptoms... mini to major strokes.  So he ordered an MRI and she has had that done and waiting for the results.  MRI is of her brain, carotid arteries and something else she didn't understand what he said, but my guess is her inner ears.  The MRI should show more.

Papa Pillow (mama's dad) had blockage in his arteries and also had dizziness with it.

She was tired and her voice wasn't as strong as it was this morning. Hopefully, she will be able to rest this afternoon.

That's all for now.  Thank you all so much for your prayers for Mama Trudy.
