Stroke Support Group
A stroke is an acute neurologic injury where the blood supply to a part of the brain is interrupted, either by a clot in the artery or if the artery bursts. The brain perfused by that artery no longer receiving oxygen carried by the blood and dying with cessation of function from that part of the brain.

at St. Lukes in Houston fighting for her life. She was life-flighted there. We had a medical miracle today. They took her off the vent and she can do icechips.....So far her speech is affected and she cant move her left side so she has had a right-sided stroke...TIAs are a BIG warning of more to come or even bigger stroke....dont ignore them! She did and that was not a good thing to do..Tangerinebear xo
