My son when he was 12 had a bleed on the temperal lobe that was no bigger than a pencil dot. He has cavernous malformations. He is 17 now and he has had trouble dealing with stress and bouts of anger. He has learned coping skills through counceling. He has also had anxiety and times of depression. The doc. haven't said it's from the bleed but he didn't have these prob. before. His worst stroke was on the rt.side and he had to have surgery for that one at age 6 and he seem to me to come out of it a changed person. He is a great son and is doing very well now though. He is definately a survivor. You can't tell now by looking at him there was ever anything wrong. He does still have the occassional seizure where he sees a shadow figure but not as often as he use to.

Hi, he is so young, my heart breaks for you. I found out the hard way how strong I needed to be, everyone thought I was not strong enough, but you know I made it. My husband had a hemmorhage from an aneurysm 2 years ago tommorrow, Please be kind to yourself
