Well, we had a scare last week. Clint had meetings in OKC so I went with him. I left earlier than he did because I had the car and he had the Gold Wing, so when I checked out of the hotel, I just headed home. On Clint's way home as he exited from one highway to another, his right arm wouldn't 'work'. He thought maybe it had fallen asleep, but he was going 75 mph so it was frightening. He managed to get the bike stopped and waited until it passed. He gets home and tells me about it. Not 15 minutes later, he has another episode, this time I can see what is going on. The right side of his face is drooping and he can't stick his tongue out straight. He's also slurring his words. Well, I was with Mom when she had her stroke so I knew what was going on, except what 38 year old has a stroke? I took him to the ER and not 20 minutes after we got there, it happened again so the docs could see for themselves what was going on. Clint was admitted and they did a long list of tests. The CT scan and EKG in the ER were fine. The MRI showed where he had bled in his brain confirming a stroke. The doc said it was genetic since he's so young. His cholesterol and blood pressure are a little high, but not enough to cause a stroke. He had plaque in his brain that broke loose. Anyway, THERE IS NO PERMANENT DAMAGE as far as they can tell. He has medications that will regulate everything. We know there were a lot of people praying for him and believe God healed the area of the brain where he bled.
Being as he's a workaholic, he went to work yesterday. Yes, 12 hours after getting out of the hospital he's at work. He only worked 1/2 day, and today 3/4 of a day. He can't drive yet so I'm being chauffeur. He isn't suppose to be on the bike for 3-6 months. Yah, we'll see who wins this one:)
Carson is growing and getting more brilliant every day. I'll post more pics as soon as I remember to get my camera out of Ashlee's car.

My dad told me about Clint when we were in FLA. I haven't talked to him since and was wondering how Clint was. Glad all those prayers worked!
oh my goodness!! Praise the Lord he is ok!!
