Leah's Story - Spinal Cord Stroke - Children's Specialized Hospital
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лис 2018
- An outstanding softball player known for her infectious smile and tenacity on the field, nine-year-old Leah was playing with her sister when she began to experience tingling in her fingers. Rushed to the emergency room, she was later diagnosed with a very rare spinal cord stroke. Only 2% of all strokes originate in the spinal cord and they are almost unheard of in young, healthy children.
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.

Thanks for sharing 🎉
that is so heartbreaking 💔 i wish sicknesses never ever existed i swear
I hope she has a long, happy and healthy life.
Strong child, strong parents. God bless this beautiful family.
Since this was published in Nov 2018, l hope their daughter is doing well. The couple's love for each other radiates out to their daughter, that she can do anything. So positive. Beautiful family. Thanks to the staff for their expertise and dedication.
@ALOHAM4RS So awesome!
Thank you for sharing. I’ve never knew a spinal cord stroke even existed. God Bless your beautiful family.
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!!!

@@keatondauffing1166 Very informative and did you become a physical therapist?
@@rodrickheffley3522 Lol.
@@yougotaluvme I'm on the road to it!!! it's a long degree!!! Lol.
So wonderful she is on the road to recovery.
Dad had a beautiful smile while speaking of her daughter recovery❤
God bless this little girl and God bless her parents and family
Such a brave sweet little girl
What a scary experience! She definitely looked like she was progressing well, though. I hope she’s doing well today!
I hope your daughter has continued to do well. She clearly has two wonderful parents. My 14 year old daughter just went through brain surgery in the last month, so I know how challenging these times are. But children are resilient and they can achieve great things with the right medical care and parental support!
It is so wonderful to see a child like Leah recovéring from a spinal cord stroke. Very uplifting. Thank you for sharing this story. May she continue to recover.
She looks so much like her mother! So great that she is fine again.
She’s beautiful & I pray she goes far.
What a sweet girl. Prayers for a full recovery.
Omg I love the moment she started talking and seeing her pretty face
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.
Beautiful and loving parents raising a spectacular daughter❤️
Indeed.
What an amazingly strong willed young lady, you inspire me to keep pushing girl.

Indeed.
What a great story best wishes for and your family
Way to go, Fellow Leah!
Thank you for sharing...
Like, even though your spine was hosed (and is still hosed just a bit), you're totally awesome. You go, girl!
Go LEAH!!! What a little sweetheart!!!
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. :-)

STRONG GIRL.
So glad this had a happy ending! When they said she was quadriplegic! I was shocked! Did they ever find out what caused her stroke? Was it the gymnastics? A hard landing? A shock to the sinal cord?
I hope she is doing well 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Praying 🙏
Amazing little girl
Beautiful ❤
Wow how awesome is her recovery PRAISE GOD
This s not because of that bastard called god... It s thanks to The doctors...
She's so brave
This is literally my story I'm still a quadriplegic from my spinal cord stroke. I pray her recovery is going well. Such a sweet angel
I hope you are OK. My nephew also had a spinal stroke in January. He is gradually regaining movement. Wishing you love and happiness. X

I just had one these May 3 ,2023. Yes mine is very new. My only symptom was I started vomiting and my headache that I had for 3 months vanished. Doctors told me they didn’t know why I had this stroke.
Beautiful happy end ❤
Oh gawd oh gawd oh gawd poor little girl! This scared me at first because I know a girl similar in looks & age with the same name as her, but then I remembered I saw her earlier today. Phew. 😅 😅 😅

I have a lot of back issues also, (and my name is Leah too!) So, I understand how horrible all that is.. I wish her all the luck, and love in the world!
