chickadee Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Hey fellow Aussie Mikamites... For all of you that don't know my name is Zoe and I'm Tegan's (aka nicocollard's sister). Hopefully this isn't something that's already been told but lately Tegan's been suffering from major migraine's for the last 2 weeks... and today she was taken to hospital after a seizure. She is intensive care and after a heap of scans it looks like she has had a stroke at the tender age of 25. Now, the main reason I'm here is not just to let you guys know but to also organise something special for Tegan, who will be doing it tough for a while... So, I was wondering if anyone would like to either send me wishes for Tegan via email ( zoetownsend@bigpond.com ) or via snail mail so I can give her a huge present and love from all her fav peeps... If you guys do want to send me something snail mail wise then just PM me and I'll give you my address... or if you want to call and ask directly, I'll send you all my phone number through PM's too... Please, if you guys can keep Tegan in your thoughts, it would be greatly appreciated... Holy crud! I'd been wondering why we hadn't seen her around here for the last few days, particularly with the news that Mika is coming here imminently, as I felt sure someone would have texted her (someone who has her number that is, cos I don't). I'm happy to be involved, if you want to give me some ideas of things that would be appreciated. Glory be. I'm a bit gobsmacked if I might say so.

Oakie Doke Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Crap I'm still in shock. It never remotely clicked that her absence could be something so ... shocking. What kind of "huge present" did you have in mind? I definitely want to send something too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickadee Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 OK, so now I have a bunch of questions... Is she conscious? How severe do they think the stroke is? Which hospital? How are you guys all doing? This is just incredible news. Incredible. Please let her know I'll be praying for her. Would it be OK to ask for her to be put on the prayer request list at my church?

soangel Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 How the hell did you just swear? Does the MFC censor allow swearing in extreme swear-worthy cases? This is one if ever. Zoe thanks so much for letting us know. I know you must be going through hell worrying about her right now. Anything you can let us know is appreciated. I so don't know what to send now, but I want to send something to let her know I'm thinking of her. ****... there's just no words. *echoes chickadees questions* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakie Doke Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Yes, thank you so much Zoe! Please tell us anything you know/learn! Tell her Mika's on his way to make her feel better Oh my god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deconstruction Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 How the hell did you just swear? Does the MFC censor allow swearing in extreme swear-worthy cases? Yes, it's in the FAQs. I so don't know what to send now, but I want to send something to let her know I'm thinking of her. I'm the exact same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakie Doke Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I don't even know what this means. Until Zoe can give further updates - CD - I demand that you explain what having a stroke means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakie Doke Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 How is she Zoe? I mean first - is she conscious? And then - how is she? God, can she talk? Wikipedia is scaring me and I'm going to stop reading it now. Urgh, she doesn't have any of these risk factors, it's not fair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickadee Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I don't even know what this means. Until Zoe can give further updates - CD - I demand that you explain what having a stroke means. A stroke is where you have a lack of oxygen to part of the brain, enough to kill off the affected brain tissue. It can be caused by a bleed such as an aneurysm rupturing or by a clot. Generally people are affected neurologically on the opposite side to where the stroke happened ie right side bleed, left side paralysis. The extent of the impairment depends on the site of the bleed or clot and the amount of affected brain tissue. There are also a couple of other effects that people can experience depending on whether it was the left or right side and these tend to be personality type things. This is just off the top of my head, so it's a bit general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickadee Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 The thing to remember is that the brain will try to route things via other pathways. Some people recover remarkably well, with negligible obvious deficit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
