“So when she was 2 weeks old, she had a major stroke caused by sepsis, causing a blood clot in her brain, which lead to a stroke. It caused her to be unsettled and irritable, then her temperature broke. She was rushed to Taupo, (central North Island, NZ) then choppered to Waikato Hospital and put into an induced coma where they needed to breathe for her. Then she was transferred to Starship Hosital where she stayed for 3 months. She spent 2 weeks in a coma, then slowly bought her out. After running tests and everything else to see the full extent of the damage the stroke had caused to her brain, the scans showed her 3/4 (3 quarters) brain dead. Never to walk, talk, communicate, pretty much close to a vegetable. But shes here today, with the dead parts of her brain shrivelled up, if you don't know the story, you wouldn't think there was anything wrong with her. She still has trouble with motors kills, is highly epileptic, and more then likely is going to develop diabetes in the coming years. She still has regular check ups with top doctors from everywhere that can’t believe she is how she is. Always comment saying, the scan of her brain is from a totally different person.”
