Stroke patients know bad days, yes, but physical rehabilitation perseverance is worth a try for wellness.
Emilio was 5 and in kindergarten when he heard his mother speak for the first time.She had gone through five years of intense rehab after her stroke to say three simple words that sent her son rushing into her arms.Doris was five months pregnant with Emilio when she suffered a massive hemorrhagic stroke in 2002. Her doctors gave her their worst-case diagnosis. It was likely she would never walk or talk again.
“They put it in the hospital freezer, and a month after Emilio was born they gave it back. You can tell the difference looking at my face, but I don’t care. Thanks to the love of my life – my husband Martin – and the incredible doctors and therapists, it wasn’t only me who survived, but more importantly, our baby boy, Emilio.”
In three years of rehab, she had made little progress in talking or walking. Without it, her insurance company ceased paying for her rehab. If she could show them progress in the future, they would reinstate her coverage, they promised. Now, he’s a 21-year old young man embarking on his own future while his mother returns to what she does best — educate.
