We started noticing our son showing preference to his left hand around 6 months of age and thought it was so cute because we have a couple family members who are left-handed. But we were also concerned because he wasn’t rolling, or meeting other milestones. We didn’t realize the two were connected until he had his first seizure at 10.5 months old. An MRI confirmed that he had suffered a stroke in the neonatal stage of life. We were shocked! We had never heard of such a thing happening in little babies.
It will soon be the 3 year diagnosis anniversary date and it’s been quite a journey so far! We’ve been blessed with kind and patient doctors, therapists and support workers. Our lives have grown in so many ways because of the people we’ve met along this path. And we’ve had certain people intentionally step right into our lives and we love them so dearly because of their presence.
Our son is brave. He is fierce. And he is so loved!
