thanks for this post. something that everone should be aware of.
Definitely something to pay attention to and not hesitate with.
Say someone comes to the ER via ambulance having an abrupt onset of left side paralysis and confused, slurred, and uncoordinated speech.
I do not have statistics, but get RIGHT ON THE THERAPY. The sooner the better the chance for recovery. There are a number of on-line support groups fro stroke victims and families. Search for "stroke suppport" and you get SEVEN MILLION hits. I have experience with:
Sara Cole Fine Art Studio is hosting a stroke awareness art show and sale to raise awareness of strokes, and to benefit both the Stroke Awareness Foundation and recent multiple stroke survivor Margaret Cole’s long term care and rehabilitation.
Have the person close his or her eyes and hold his or her arms straight out in front for about 10 seconds. If one arm does not move, or one arm winds up drifting down more than the other, that could be a sign of a stroke.
You still don't get it. Your post had nothing to do with the son. The father isn't the topic of this story, therefore the post is inappropriate. Go find a Joe Biden story to do your posting.
