Pediatric Stroke

Originally posted 2019-01-24 10:00:45. It’s a myth that only older adults have strokes. Stroke can happen to anyone at any time, including teenagers, children, newborns, and unborn babies. The risk of stroke in children is greatest in the first year of life and during the period of right before birth to right after birth. Stroke remains among the top 10 causes of death in children. https://www.stroke.org/understand-stroke/impact-of-stroke/pediatric-stroke/

And I can’t ask Why me?

Originally posted 2014-06-30 01:51:25. You know that age old saying, don’t ask why me? Well at least that is what I believed …that was something you just didn’t do. Even if you went through a crap ton of stuff you just didn’t ask why me. I don’t know about you but sometimes I sit back in my head (somewhere in that mass of echoing space that I call my mind) and still wonder why it…
