I was 23 and I had a rare stroke. I'm so grateful to the staff at this hospital - I was 7 months pregnant and I had a rare stroke due to a blood clot on the brain.
The surgeons had to deliver my baby and then perform brain surgery on me. They had to remove part of my skull so the brain could swell out it would've gone down and got stuck. I would've died if it wasn't for the live saving treatment I received. My case was that rare that the hospital staff asked to use it in a meeting and I agreed so it could help other people the surgeons saved my life and my baby's life she was only 2lb 4oz but fast forward 4 months later she is a fantastic 8lb baby.
"Life saving treatment."
