Update On Nancy Tucker Shaw

Further information on Nancy Tucker Shaw's condition

Nancy Tucker Shaw's daughter-in-law has posted the following update:

Nancy is doing much better.

While she's still suffering complete paralysis on her left side, she's beginning to get a little better response than she's had and she's pretty much always lucid and very much herself again. (She has the nurses commenting on her sense of humour to anyone who'll listen...)

It looks like she's in for a long haul of physical therapy, but her prognosis is much, much better than it was last night. The condition that predisposed her to a stroke in the first place (atrial fibrillation) is still a factor, so she's not completely out of the woods yet -- but her doctors are much more optimistic.
