Louisville, Kentucky - A 17-year-old girl is fighting for her life, and doctors don't know what's wrong. After spending months in and out of hospitals, Tabbatha Rhymer came home this week. As she adjusts, friends and even strangers are blessing her with kindness.
At 17, Tabbatha Rhymer should be thinking about prom and the end of another school year, but she has just one wish. "To get better," she whispered softly.
She had a stroke in January and since then, doctors have found lesions on her brain but cannot figure out what is wrong. "The lesion caused the stroke, and the stroke caused the seizures," said her adoptive mother, Juanita Age.
Medicine helps, but she is constantly seizing, and Tabby's mother has to feed her through a tube. "Every time she goes to sleep my husband will say, 'She's fine, she's sleeping.' I'm in here seeing if her heart's still beating."
She's so weak, she hardly has strength to talk. "This has been scary. I feel like I'm gonna die every day," said Tabby.
