Denise Nickerson and her stroke

Denise, 62 suffered a massive stroke in late June. She was critical and in the intensive care unit. Her son said:

It had been reported that after the pacemaker was put into her body, she became agitated. Jasmine had written on Facebook on 8 July:

“They had to move her to a room where they can monitor her more closely. She pulled out her feeding tube and has been trying to fully climb out of bed. Her lung collapsed. They just discovered in the last few hours so they are putting a tube in to reinflate it. A rough day so far. Mom and Josh have been up with her today. I’m home-sick with a small cold and trying not to worry.”

But the whole family was worried that Denise was so critical that she would never be able to leave the hospital.
