ER visit Diagnosis: Massive Stroke affecting the left side of her brain! They determined from the tests that her carotid arteries were blocked 51% on the left and 60% on the right side and this is what caused the stroke. Highly unusual for a young girl. Due to bleeding in the brain, she had a craniotomy procedure to release pressure. IT SAVED HER LIFE!

NOW WE MUST SAVE HER FUTURE!!!

She has the opportunity to work with a variety of therapists to continue to help bring her fully out of a coma and regain physical control of her body, while her brain heals. There are many small yet very positive signs she has this potential to recover, allowing her neural passages ways to naturally reconnect over time because of her young age.
