Bertram council hails candidate’s recovery from brain injury
BERTRAM — By all accounts, mayoral candidate Winnette Morris is lucky to be alive — let alone run for public office.
“She is walking and talking,” husband Wayne Morris said earlier this week during the City Council meeting.
Morris suffered a brain aneurysm in January, he said.
All council members and audience members applauded the news of Winnette Morris’ recovery, including Mayor JoAnn Stephens, who is running against her in the May 8 election.
“It is very difficult to come through,” Wayne Morris said.
His wife entered University Medical Center Brackenridge in Austin for treatment, where doctors “coiled” the aneurysm to save her life, the husband added.
His wife is undergoing additional rehabilitation in Georgetown Hospital until her release in two weeks, he added.
“She is truly a miracle,” resident Marilynn Goode said.
