Update on Mike Huggins 7/24

Derald Bulls sent this update on Mike Huggins, from his cousin Cindy: Just talked to the nurse MIKE IS OFF THE VENT!!! Movement on the left side and he is moving his right leg. No movement in the right arm yet. He does have a slight droop on the right side of his mouth but they don’t know if this will go away or not at this time He is trying to talk but seems to be confused but they expected him to have some confusion. He has an NG tube for now but speech therapy is coming in later to test him to see if he can swallow properly. If they are not comfortable with how he swallows, they will retest at a later time. He seems to understand what they are asking and telling him to do but is having trouble responding. The nurse says this is very good. She also said it was a massive stroke BUT he is much better than what they expected him to be due to the size of the stroke and the location of where it occurred. A MRI is scheduled for later this afternoon to tell us more. I will update with any news I get. Thank you all again for the continued prayers.
