Update below: 1/27/19

She has never before had a seizure; had previous illnesses of uncontrolled diabetes, kidney disease, and stroke.
She will be transferred to this area's largest hospital, where neurologists can monitor electronically her brain function, etc.

I was with her when this occurred; I thought I was losing her.
I have no idea what will follow, but believe prayer united can be powerful.

9. Thanks to all for your prayers and concern; it meant a lot.

Happy to report that Ann has returned to her living space today, weak but on the mend.

The seizures lasted at least 4 hours, though she was sedated and intubated on arrival at the nearest hospital and seizures were then weak.
She was in the neuro-ICU at the major hospital for about 1 week, with breathing tubes removed after two days.
Enzymes which indicate heart damage were over-the-top; a heart catheterization was done, showing several blockages.
The blockages will be stented in several weeks. I guess you could say she had a heart attack.

I have been told no definitive reason for the seizures and what followed.
I'm so grateful for the prayer support of DU Prayer circle, as well as to the medical personnel who helped Ann reach this stage of recovery.
