Leah's Story - Spinal Cord Stroke - Children's Specialized Hospital
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 11. 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.
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!
Strong child, strong parents. God bless this beautiful family.
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!!!

@@yougotaluvme I'm on the road to it!!! it's a long degree!!! Lol.
Dad had a beautiful smile while speaking of her daughter recovery❤
So wonderful she is on the road to recovery.
God bless this little girl and God bless her parents and family
Omg I love the moment she started talking and seeing her pretty face
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.
What a scary experience! She definitely looked like she was progressing well, though. I hope she’s doing well today!
Such a brave sweet little girl
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!
She looks so much like her mother! So great that she is fine again.
Beautiful and loving parents raising a spectacular daughter❤️
Indeed.
I’ve never heard of a spinal stroke. Thanks for sharing your story. Continued Blessings for her and your family!
Amazing story. Willpower is a wonderful thing. Is one of the main reasons I am walking and not on a wheelchair.
She’s beautiful & I pray she goes far.
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.
What a sweet girl. Prayers for a full recovery.
What an amazingly strong willed young lady, you inspire me to keep pushing girl.
Very Sad 😢 💔 is so hard to see your kids in pain or sick , am glad that she is doing better, beautiful little girl.
God bless this family! We love you, Leah!♡

Greetings from another Kiwi! 🥝
Aww what a sweetheart
Wow soo sad but remember God won’t leave you guys he’s by your side God Bless
Thats sad 😭😭at the end it was happy😀😀
So sorry hoping she's better
Omg these parents are strong ❤
Beautiful
That's very sad I am praying for her
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. :-)

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. 😅 😅 😅

Beautiful happy end ❤
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?
Thank you God x
God bless you all
Big hugs hugs hugs
I am sorry 😢😢
i hope she is doing better
