I have a good friend several states away who I was devastated to find out one day about two months ago had woken up in the middle of the night, very ill. She knew something was not right. Come to find out she had a massive stroke due to a blood clot in her brain stem. This girl is only 37 years old!! Well, when I found out this news, the prognosis was not good. She was paralyzed, in a coma, on life support and not expected to do very well. They of course never expected her to walk or even talk normally again. Well, she has some very dedicated, loving friends and family who were by her side non stop, and I am happy to say that she has been removed from life support, regained conscioussness and movement, was transferred to a stroke rehab and took 12 steps the other day!!! Now how is that for someone who was never supposed to walk again. Just goes to show that the human mind/body can sometimes be much stronger and resilient than we would think.
