Sister in law in ICU

Hello fellow board members,

Wanted to post here because I do not want to take over the football board.  If the mods would like to move this to get more exposure that would be awesome.  

My sister in law was admitted to the hospital Friday evening after being sick for over a week.  Turns out after testing she had suffered a stroke and had bleeding on her brain.  She was rushed from Novant Matthews to Novant uptown Friday evening.  Her Blood pressure was 290/160 which they believe caused the stroke. At first she was going to be rushed to uptown for emergency brain surgery to stop the bleeding in her brain.  In the 15 mins it took me and my wife to get to Novant Matthews the bleeding had stopped.   The scar tissue from the stroke was actually swollen which assisted in stopping the bleeding on her brain.

She has been in ICU care for the last few days and scheduled for an MRI tomorrow to see if anything else is going on.  As of right now the only thing major is she is suffering from memory loss.  They are unsure if some stuff will come back for not.  Anything within the last 2 months or so she does not remember at all.

If anyone is able to donate that would be awesome, but if not just share with as many people as you can.  This is the best fan base in the world and consider this a family.  Please also keep her and the family in your thoughts and prayers.  Also want to throw a shoutout to my man Zaximus on here.  He and his wife are family, and have helped us out this weekend tremendously.

Thanks so much for the support everyone.  I will try to provide regular status updates to keep everyone in the loop.

Today was a very tough day for all of us.  Instead of improving it seems she stayed the same or maybe even got a tad bit worse.  For example she does not remember what month it is, or the year.  She knows who everyone is which is good, but simple stuff she just gets confused with.  

We were told later this evening that this was normal for day 3, and it is usually the hardest.  They believe once the swelling goes down in her brain she will continue to improve, and should gain most of her memory back.  The MRI tonight revealed she may have suffered from 2 different strokes, but still as far as they can tell there has been no real physical damage.  As far as physical stuff goes she is able to get up and walk with assistance which is really awesome.

We will begin to know more in the next few days, and I will share all updates.  Thanks again for all of the support.

Keep Pounding and Go Panthers

Quick update:

SIL was moved from ICU this morning to a normal room.  Still dealing with some spiking high blood pressure issues, but overall she is on the road to full recovery.  Each day is a little better, and and memory is starting to improve.  Thanks for all of the prayers and well wishes.

    • I saw that too--and what you said made sense because there is something like that in the rules--said that he is unlikely to get picked up (and I was not suggesting that we do) and Jones wants to go to a winning team.   After getting beaten to death in NY behind a sub par OL, poor WRs, and brutal fan base, I get it. 
    • True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I’ll admit.]
    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.
