22 Apr Robert Shellhouse Suffers Stroke

Robert Shellhouse, a retired UB minister in Michigan, was taken to Mercy Hospital in Shelby, Mich., Wednesday morning (April 21) for what was most likely a stroke. A brain scan performed there determined that he had also suffered a stroke prior to that.

The treating physician at Shelby thought it might just be Bell’s Palsey and was going to treat and discharge him. However, when it came time to leave, he was unable to get up and walk. He was then transferred by ambulance to the ER at Hackley Hospital in Muskegon.

A carotid doppler was performed Wednesday night, with more tests scheduled for Thursday. He did suffer a stroke, but his speech was less slurred on Thursday (April 22), and they had him up walking some. They are working with him in both physical and occupational therapy.

Please keep Rev. Shellhouse in your prayers.
