News on Charlene

[Trailabite]

Some of you may remember a friend that I brought up from Florida for first our GaterFest out at River Rock. Her name was Charlene and she drove her own jeep, a black 2 door JK. As some of you know she had a heart transplant several years ago that dint take and was not expected to live to see her son graduate, which, she did get to watch last year. My wife just called to let me know that she suffered a major stroke last night and is in the hospital and due to her failing heart there's not much they can do for her.

So please say a prayer her and her family!

Didn't get to meet her because I hadn't joined the group yet, but my heart and prayers go out to her and her family.

I just got off the phone with her husband and apparently she is non-responsive at this point. They will give her another 48 hours and if there is no response they will pull the plug!

Chuck Thanks for posting this here.  I heard this and am very saddened.  She has had so many issues and always beat every one and has always had a great attitude.  We had a great time with them at Jeep Beach and saw them a dozen times over the 4 days.  This is going to be tough on their son too.  They are all Jeepers.  The local Jeep community is there for them.

Here's an update from Charlene's husband:

Yesterday afternoon I watched Charlene sit herself up in bed. That is not all, She stood up and took a few baby steps to use the bathroom. She was also determined to go to the club social at Woody's BBQ in Sebastian. I reminded her that it was an hour north drive there and that she would be wore out. She said she would be fine and that she wanted to ride in her Jeep. So I told my stubborn wife if she can get into Jeep I would drive her. She climbed a step stool and got in her Jeep! When we got back she told me I am tried but I got to ride in my Jeep. I didn't think she was going to be able to get in her Jeep. I have created a Jeep'n Monster! I think in her eyes it is give me my Jeep or give death! We know which one she has chosen! She is one stubborn and tough woman and I love her.

She went to the Nero and she told him how a stroke sucks! He was up front with her and said "With the size stroke you had. You should no longer be here. You could be combmowtoast (spelling). He is just amazed the amount of progress she has had already. They can't do anything with the blood clot that is there. What he can do is try to prevent another one from happening.
