Every stroke doctor and hospital in the world should be rushing here to analyze EXACTLY her damage diagnosis and the rehab protocols she used. But that won't occur. 1 million stroke survivors a year completely recover and none of them are being contacted. You doctor will blithely state with absolutely nothing to back this up; 'All strokes are different, all stroke recoveries are different'. Such will be the excuse for not doing anything. With that appalling mindset your children and grandchildren that have strokes in 30 years to forever will be screwed.
Grand Valley student and cross-fit athlete recovers from stroke
“I kept collapsing and I wasn’t able to get back up off the ground,” said Lauren, who was able to crawl to her phone and call her sister for help.
After Lauren arrived at Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital, a Comprehensive Stroke Center, doctors determined she had experienced a massive stroke that caused paralysis on one side of her body and a host of other complications. Spectrum’s interdisciplinary team of experts worked to save her life, and two weeks later she was medically stable and ready to begin acute rehabilitation at Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital.
“She was the perfect candidate and progressed very quickly,” said Lauren Lenca, a physical therapist on Mary Free Bed’s stroke and research teams. “She welcomed every challenge we gave her. Her motivation and work ethic will take her far in life."
Lauren has worked diligently with her physical, occupational, speech-language and recreational therapists and has made an amazing recovery. She has a goal to participate in the Grand Rapids Half Marathon in the fall.
