Neurologist says Sandi's brain damage is permanent and not reversible at all. The only thing that can be done at this point is to attempt to keep her blood pressure down low enough so she does not stroke again.

  5. Thank you everyone. I just don't know what we are going to do. The stress of going to a homeless shelter may kill both of us. Things just keep happening.

    I'm exhausted and overwhelmed.
