My mum had a brain hemmorhage a few weeks after my birth, she survived, she couldn't do some things like basic math and her writing became worse but she survived and stayed for 18 years, she was an amazing mother and my father is an amazing man that stayed with us❤ Sadly she had a second bleed and died, I miss her so much. Seeing this beautiful woman's story is heartbreaking and hits me hard. I hope her son will have her for many more years than I had❤

Wowwwwwww...... brings back horrible memories as I had a brain hemorrhage myself at age 37 while I was 5 months pregnant with my second child...... it's been almost 2/5 years since then. I still consider myself a lucky lucky person that I have survived even though I'm still suffering from somewhat minor residues. I was completely a healthy person but one night things changed so much. It was a vein rupture type not clotting type of stroke ..... and until now there is no answer to why it happened. I'm just so glad that I get to be around for my children. 🙏🙏🙏 I feel for her and I know exactly what's she going through..... the good thing is that she has a wonderful purpose to live her life to the fullest and that's her child... Life is a BITCH ..... that's for sure. Take care Jo. 💗

I suppose maybe she wants to go back to being a doctor which would require speech. Possibly the damage to one side of her body makes sign language to fiddly as well.

From listening to her, it sounds like she has problems with grammar and vocabulary, not just the physical part of controlling her mouth and tongue and throat. If it was just the speech itself, she could just write what she wanted to say (which would be easier than learning a whole new language).

Something like this happening to anyone in any circumstances would be devastating...but for there is so many reasons it's particularly tragic for her. She's young. She's a mother. Her son was very young. She's a doctor. She was two tests away from qualifying for a speciality 13 years in the making. She has brilliant mind still completely intact she can no longer freely express. And from her perspective, it was all gone in an instant. She didn't get to prepare emotionally or logistically. On the other hand....she's alive and has a beautiful, loving family and support system. She is still present and inside, the same person she always was. I'm still early on in the video and this was posted 7 years ago, so I hope things are better for her now. If nothing else, I imagine there are so many ways the incredible technology we have now could be helpful for her personally and professionally.

I promise this young lady will 100% recover provided people around her should never let her feel she had a brain stroke. Please ask her to lift her right hand, she can, and support her in her walk, motivate her to walk normally. She can walk like any other person. Her sensory and motor functions are normal. Aphasia?? She is fine. She will pick up soon. In fact you have to learn her language. She will regain everything.

It's something that could happen to any of us. It's very scary. And me being in a similar field to her but I'm no doctorate level but I would really be sad like her when I was almost certified to work and this to happen. I wouldn't know how I would feel going back into the lab. I know that same love of this field. Work for me is fun and doesn't feel like work and the plus is I get paid for doing what I love. Most normal people can't say or remember the words for health sciences. It'll be very hard to say things like poikilocytosis again. But she at least said she remembers all she has studied. It's just remembering where those words go and getting her mouth to say it. I would love to see an update on her. I can see the progress already throughout this video.

I have a daughter with brain injury from neonatal sepsis at the level of severe learning disability and delay as testing but it doesn't seem like the whole story, and a son with ASD, Aspergers/PDA, giftedness. Both have mixed cognitive stuff. Ability and challenging behaviour. Hard to know what they can and can't do. Same story for me. Developmental issues and higher IQ that I didn't find out about until later. Specific learning difficulties and extra time at A level, failed uni (now only one of six siblings without degree or career), diagnosis not clearly resolved as to questions of developmental dyspraxia or autism, though my GP once mentioned anoxia at birth (mum put it down to unnecessary pethidine), being floppy at birth, in special care. That GP was Ellen MacArthur's uncle, saw something slightly similar in me that I haven't lived up to. The uni support said they thought I could do anything, just not the degree at that time. Countryside management was too big, too emotive, and I struggled with statistics, mixed maths abilities in general. I grew up in perpetual confusion and conflict about my abilities. Though I still remember the educational psychologist saying the test score was higher than expected, then didn't even tell my mum, just within normal limits. My mum found it very hard and took against medicalization. Other experiences too added to it. Her frustration and pain and trying to sort it out in been head has been evident and I haven't always helped. But looking back the performance gap should have been obvious. But then I don't know what they could have done. Connecting with best practice and your known motivation and best is a whole other thing to knowing what the issues are in a general way, or indeed more specifics such as about articulation and word retrieval. I was frustrated that there weren't more opportunities for habilitation around for my daughter (who is now 13, and enjoys cookery and musical theatre and videos about lifts and how plumbing works) but I had severe long lasting postnatal depression while we were learning what the impacts was on my daughter. I tried to read three books a day. That was good. I think it had a good impact. I used to use my arms like parallel bars having a few documentaries about rehabilitation to supplement then advice we got from the physio. I used to beatbox phonemes at her to split the articulation from the meaning to make it easier, while also reading and having my pedantic pidgin-academic but jaunty way of speaking. The HV credited me within a lot but I also found a lot of things hard and blamed or questioned a lot. Still do. That's normal mum stuff. But more extreme in the circumstances. We didn't get a lot of provision we should have had and some people chase down everything or pay for it, but they were already highfliers maybe. They seemed very different, while in some ways, points of contact that ran deep. When she was basically walking and talking physio etc mostly rolled back, left it to nursery and school and us. It wasn't all done though. I wishn I'd pushed harder and might be denying been opportunities but concerned extra pressure would have been a cost too high for us, I don't know, but sometimes feel web stern about right. In the circumstances. For us. But there's an whole range of debate possible. The larger they get the harder it is. They argue. I get overwhelmed, they get overwhelmed. Reading with them is hard too: my focus needed especially, to balance their need to talk and ask questions and have a satisfying exchange there with on the other hand reading smoothly. Changing back and forth and all the frames of reference I find really difficult. And am sad at the changes. A long drawn out sad. Like a constant grief rollercoaster. I used to cry in sheer exhaustion at the end of a shift on supermarket checkouts and crashed out of that job before I had children. Perhaps I shouldn't have had them but I just wanted to be normal. My husband crashed out his IT job eventually, recently: burnout related to home, his mental health and general HR/management style type work strains together: so I need to think about a job. But it's triggering relapse signs in my mental health, just thinking about it. I have been quite avoidant so far despite superficial health and ability. Even though I can fill my head with vain dreams and entrepreneurial and activist spirit quite easily. I derive a lot of sense of meaning from online activism but that's an unstable satisfaction in some ways. I don't like to say, but my children and my faith as well,n where they perhaps shouldn't be unstable or my all though the opposite isn't arguable too. So I don't know what to say except tell my story and say hello with a wan wave of hello from another part of then frustration tree. You are valuable whoever you are and whatever you don't and don't do, and the overly grand and pressurising conclusion might be you're a potential role model that humanises brain based difficulty somewhat for those who don't get it, because people generally oversimplify and hate on the barriers that exist in functioning. Being a doctor who struggles to speak but retains a lot of intellect and knowledge is a potentially powerful story where it's often left to compost in obscurity because people don't know what to do, don't have time, but prefer stories involving aspirational achievement, hope, inspiration porn based learning moments. That's a reason for this video. You're allowed to fight that. Do look into disability politics if you haven't. Bewildering as it can be. I might give other useless patronising advice in lieu of being able to ask more details of the therapy programme. Like does it involve signed English, like Makaton. A more accurate range of gestures to support speech looked like they might be useful. There's lots of baby signing resources out there and it might help in your relationship with your son. There's different opinions about signed speech, it's sometimes controversial as if it would diminish speaking but the science behind it doing the opposite, I hear, is good. I know I am talking to a doctor (well, if this reaches you), married to a teacher, in the care of quality teams doing their best. But there's always devils and angels in the details of the climb that seem to matter quite a bit! Fight your corner. That doesn't have to mean climbing too high, it can mean being able to cling on. But I have had both the high achievement "go for it" advice and pressure and practical style interactions and the "settle for it" advice and style of interactions, neither quite satisfied or felt as healthy as they could be. People do their best. But we're just people. We can't all be superheroes. And that's OK.
