Thanks for all the support, it means a lot. Kids showered/bathed....and just about to wander down to the football. Then on to the school summer fayre, then up to hospital!
Apologies for incoherent ramblings last night, lots of coffee this morning.

Cheers everybody. Spent a few hours at hospital today...in between football, summer fayre, roller disco, clearing up house, doing washing
We read the thread together and the support shown from here and the real world has been phenomenal. Truly humbling. It has really helped, thank you all so much.
Don't know what I'd do without my mates - virtual and physical. Thanks.

All the best for your wife's recovery and make sure you take the time to look after yourself.
If in a wee while you have any questions about the physio that your wife might get, give me a shout and i'll ask the wife.

I was in a stroke rehab unit after I was poorly, and the progress some of the stroke victims made was absolutely amazing! Don't lose hope.

Having just got back from Hols with my kids and missus who is 6 weeks away from delivering number 3, this kind of post makes me feel a whole bunch of love towards folks who's lives are turned upside down in such a dramatic way.
Best wishes from all of us over here, you to you guys over there.

Best of luck with her recovery.
Sounds like an atrial septal defect (ASD)
We were fixing them yesterday at my hospital.
3 young people whose first symptoms was a stroke.
It's easily fixed, 1/2 hour procedure done from the top of the leg.
Home the same day.Stay positive.

All power and support to you mate - and your wife.
In terms of her rehab and recovery, while she is still in hospital make sure they tell you and her exactly what they're doing and why. Ask them what the rehab plan is and what the immediate goals are. Push to ensure that all the therapies she gets are from neuro-trained therapists, and that they focus on the cogntive, emotional and psychological side, as well as on her physical recovery.
When she comes home, make sure that she will still get input from a neuro-trained community rehab service. Don't let them ditch her and say it's now just down to social services - but also make sure social services do a full assessment, of your and your kids' needs as well as hers (statutory requirement that they should do so) and do go about providing any equipment and adaptations that are needed, as well as any care and support. Tell them if there are financial issues, and make sure you get good benefits advice.
Things may take a while, especially the fatigue, but they will keep on changing and improving for months, even years. That's typical in terms of strokes and brain injuries. As TJ says, the more positive her attitude and yours, the better things will go. Make sure you have time and support for you - very important............and don't let anyone bullshit you or fob you or her off!
Hope this helps. I work with people who have had brain injuries, haemorrhages and strokes, so if you have any questions or just want to sound off, my email is in my profile.
Good luck!
