My Name Is CJ And I'd Like You To Meet My Mom

After many years of smoking and few heart attacks, she had a stroke at the table while telling my dad a funny story. She was laughing so hard she could hardly tell it...then in a millisecond, things changed.

She was taken to Franklin Foundation Hospital and then transported to Ochsner in New Orleans. She had 9 of the best doctors in the country, but the damage was just too severe. It was a text book stroke. The team of doctors said that if she had had it in the hospital parking lot, she still may have never recovered.

She was in a coma and on life support until the doctors told me...I had to...

I held her hand.
