‘Kari’s Kause’ to benefit Silver Lake family

The Eischens family: back row, Jason and Kari Eischens, and in the front, their children Noah and Carly.

On Saturday, June 24, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., a benefit for Kari Eischens and her family will be taking place at the Silver Lake Auditorium with music afterward.  
On March 16 of this year, Kari Eischens suffered a brain aneurysm. She woke up with an excruciating headache and thanks to her experience as a nurse, knew that it wasn’t a normal, everyday headache.
“I thought it was either a heart attack, a stroke, or a brain aneurysm,” said Eischens. “Then I thought, ‘Okay I don’t have any chest pain or radiating arm pain so it’s not a heart attack. I don’t think it’s a stroke because I don’t have any facial paralysis or droop or numbness or tingling anywhere. But my pulse is about 110 and this headache is probably the worst headache I’ve ever had in my life.’ Jason (her husband) was coming up from the basement and I told him that he either had to bring me to the hospital or call 9-1-1 because I felt like I was having a brain aneurysm.
“I went into our bedroom to get dressed but instead I laid in our bed,” said Eischens. “The headache just got so much worse. I felt nauseous and I got up to run across the hall to throw up but instead I hit the bathtub, had a seizure and that’s all I remember for a week.”
Jason Eischens called 9-1-1 and Kari was brought to Glencoe Regional Health Services Urgent Care. Once her brain aneurysm was confirmed, she was transferred to United Hospital in St. Paul. It was the beginning of a 21-day stay in the intensive care unit for Kari.
