My son was a regular two year old boy. Happy as can be and healthy.He was born premature and got a trach when 3 months old. However a week ago he suffered a severe stroke, due to medical mal practice, leaving him just about brain dead..it kills me to see him confined to a bed when he was so full of life. Has anyone been through this? I can use some advice.

My 23 month old daughter had a stroke in April. Spent 7!weeks in ICU, another 4 weeks on the floor and then 5 weeks in rehab. She still isn't swallowing, sucking (eating), walking, talking. We are in pt, it, speech weekly. I just have to have faith that she will be okay. How are things now with your little one?

Thank you and I'm sorry to hear about your daughter. My son seems to have progressed a little he can now open and close his eyes and maintain his temp. Doctors say he will not come back and it's sooo hard to hear. I'm in shock and disbelieve. I have talked to a social worker she has been great.. I just lose it and don't know how to handle all of this. Is your daughter going to get better? What happened to her?
