Glenda suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage which is a life-threatening type of stroke caused by bleeding in her brain Wednesday while eating lunch at home. Given her critical condition, was immediately transferred from Frederick Memorial Hospital to the Neuro Critical Care Unit at Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring. We are very fortunate to still have her with us as that is not always the outcome in this situation.
Doctors placed a shunt in her skull to drain the blood and spinal fluid in an attempt to decrease the pressure on her brain. They are attempting to stop the bleeding and pinpoint the cause. She does not have brain damage however her symptoms and condition continue to fluctuate by the hour. She is extreme pain and expected to remain in the ICU for at least three weeks, followed by a long recovery period that will require rehabilitation and in-home care.
As many of you know, Glenda has dedicated her life to Playland Equestrian Center. She works tirelessly seven days a week, caring for the horses, supporting her clients, boarders, and students, and sharing her passion through teaching and training. Unfortunately, teaching and training are her primary source of income which she substantially relies on to maintain the farm, and she will be unable to work during her recovery.
While Glenda's wonderful staff is continuing to care for the horses and keep the farm running, the expenses of maintaining the farm, staff wages, and household bills continue in addition to the medical bills she is accruing.
If you are able to help, any donationβno matter the amountβwill help relieve the financial burden and allow Glenda to focus on healing. If you're unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser and keeping Glenda in your thoughts and prayers would mean so much.
