MrEarl Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Brian DePouli just emailed me to let me know and asked that I post this. While not sure of the details it seems Roberta Vasilow was in Columbus OH on her way to the the National Trials and had a stroke or brain aneurism and was possibly involved in an auto accident. She was airlifted to Grant Hospital in critical condition. I am taking this from what Brian knew about it and what has been posted here on the V-8 site. http://www.v8buick.com/<wbr>showthread.php?286249-Pray-<wbr>for-Roberta-VasilowI will add more as I learn it. Please pray for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 An excerpt from one of the latest V-8 posts of early morning "She Is responsive & Breathing on her own, and they are going to remove the Breathing Tube shortly. Signs are Definitely Better than last evening." and as of 10:10 this morning from a nurse at the hospital "I just stopped to see Roberta. She is in ICU but stable" Please God, be with her and please don't take her from us yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Guy Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I just received word that Roberta is conscious and wearing a neck brace . She has also told the Doctors ,she wants to go home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jscheib Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I am no medical expert, but having been through a similar situation with my last stroke, they brace went on as a precaution when I bumped my head passing out, and it stayed for three days, as a precaution, until they were certain I had no nerve injury. Hope Roberta's situation is similar and it seems her response is a good sign. Joe, thanks for keeping us informed.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTX5467 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I just lost a good friend and long-time co-worker due to mis-diagnosed heart issues. Hearing of Roberta's issues brings my prayers for her successful full recovery. At least, the later information is very promising! Thanks, Joe, for that later information! Roberta has meant a LOT to the BCA for many years, plus helping keep the Buick performance capabilities alive with her drag race activities.Best wishes for a full recovery, Roberta!NTX5467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
