    Just so incredible that she went from being “profoundly quadriplegic” to walking, playing on the playground, and doing it all with a big smile.

    So glad she’s okay. I just saw a video of a girl with a terminal muscular illness saying she would rather die at home than in the hospital, where she had spent most of her life. Afterwards, I saw a video of a girl with end stage brain cancer die in her mom’s arms. So glad to see a story with a happy ending. And this is NOT an ending - this girl is still alive and getting back to normal.

      The spinal cord is like a mini brain. It can learn stuff and perform a lot of tasks without the brain's help. Just like you can get a stroke in your brain (blockage of blood vessels), you can also get a stroke of the spinal cord. Often times, spinal cord strokes can occur when blood supply is cut off due to an injury or trauma of some sort, which is what I am assuming happened here, due to the fact that she was doing gymnastics when it occurred. Her stroke likely occurred in the cervical (neck) region of her spine, due to the fact that she had difficulty moving both her arms and her legs. The amazing thing about spinal cord injuries such as spinal cord strokes, bruising, swelling, and incomplete spinal cord injuries (where the spinal cord is not completely damaged, as opposed to a complete spinal cord injury), is that full or almost full recovery is very possible!!! I have a friend who had an incomplete spinal cord injury (paraplegic... from the waist down), and he is walking and running again and has two beautiful children!!! I am always amazed at the success of recovery for people with brain and spinal cord injuries. The brain and the spinal cord are amazing, and there are so many new discoveries being made today in the realm of neuroscience!!! That is why I want to become a physical therapist specializing in neuro PT!!!

    Our 13 year old son also had a spinal cord stroke only 5 months ago. He to was a talented athlete. It is a great mind set to have to take into the rehab and recovery from such an enormous injury as a spinal cord stroke. Austins was T2-T12. He is now walking and starting to get back into sport. All the best to Leah with her ongoing recovery.

    She has such an amazing spirit, it takes an extremely strong person to be able to smile and laugh and keep your spirits up when something this tragic happens. You two are amazing parents. My childhood was spent in and out of hospitals from a super rare kidney/liver disease. I had to undergo 3 kidney transplants and 1 liver transplant. There were times after surgeries or on dialysis in between the transplants that I wanted it to just be over, My parents were a huge support system for me and I think if I wouldn't of had such amazing supportive parents I don't think I could've gotten through it. Leah is very lucky to have you two, I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. :-)
