fasteddie Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 My 42 year old son had a Stroke last Monday night . He was unresponsive and luckily someone was at his apartment when he collapsed . His boyfriend , who is an RN was able to get to his apartment in about 10 minutes and an ambulance arrived quickly . At the local hospital , 2 doctors debated whether to give him a shot as they didn't have permission . My son's boyfriend said to give him the shot and he would sign anything necessary and take full responsibility . My son became responsive within 20 minutes and was moved from the hospital in Jersey City to St Barnabus in Livingston NJ . My wife and I were in NJ from Tuesday afternoon and got home Friday evening . Our son had a Angiogram and a MRI . They found a restriction in his left Carotid Artery with a slight tear . We drove back to Livingston , NJ Sunday after church and stayed until this am . He had another Angiogram and MRI yesterday . He was released from the hospital last night and we took him to his home in Jersey City . So far no therapy is required but he has several medical follow ups to do . If worse comes to worse , after a follow up in 3 months , they may have to install a stent in the artery . Our church , family and friends were praying for our son . They worked ! 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 So happy to hear that he is doing ok. It sounds like a warning shot that will be forcing him to commence a life-style change of special diet and exercise so that he can live a long and healthy life. I went through the same thing and learned that there is lots of life after a stroke .... as long as you are lucky enough to get a second chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
