The First Notice...

Most of you know Margaret Johnson, mom to 6 homeschool kiddos and my best friend. She collapsed yesterday and lost all feeling in the leftside of her body. She was rushed to Presby Allen and diagnosed with a brain aneurism. They life flighted her down to Zale Lipshy at UT Southwestern where she is in ICU. She will be there at least 2 weeks. They have determined that the aneurism did rupture and that she has bleeding in her brain. It is unknown at this point if it cerebral or not. We are still waiting to here. They are going in through her main artery today to try and stop the bleeding. If they can't they will open up her skull. We are all a mess right now. The family's needs are taken care of by the compassionate service portion of our church. Emotionally, we could use your prayers and thoughts for the family and her quick recovery. I appreciate your support.

Update March 29, 2009
Margaret is doing very well. She bled more than we originally thought. She gets tired easier but does very well. You would not know, through casual conversation, that this has ever taken place. She is a graceful and eloquent as ever. I cannot think of life without her. Thank all of you so much for your support.
