THERE TRULY ARE GUARDIAN ANGLES !!!!!!

When I came to Germany last week, I got the shock of my life, when my sister-in-law told me that my brother had had a stroke 4 weeks prior. (she did not want to scare me before since she knew there was nothing I could do from America…

He was in the train on his way to work when he seemed to get symptoms and ultimately had an epileptic attack caused by the stroke.

A lady nearby noticed something and immediately called the conductor who quickly called 911. Within minutes a helicopter arrived where they stopped the train between stops. There are always doctors on board and he received treatment immediately…

He ended up 5 weeks in rehab, where he had to work on physical and mental therapies all day long.

Imagine he is back to work since yesterday !!!!

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE !!!!

The woman calling for help so quickly saved my brothers life. We have been trying to find her since we do not know who it was. There are no words to describe our gratitude to this guardian angel. If anyone hears about this story and knows who it was ,please contact me at ukeszler@comcast.net

Here are some warning signs of stroke Please do not ignore them and act swiftly!!!

Lay persons can command a potential stroke victim to:

1. Smile.
2. Raise both arms.
3. Speak a simple sentence.

The three commands, known as the Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale (CPSS), are used by health professionals as a simple first step in the assessment process for signs of stroke. If a person has trouble with any of these simple commands, emergency services (911) should be called immediately with a description of the situation, noting that you suspect the individual is having a stroke.

A stroke results from impaired oxygen delivery to brain cells via the bloodstream. According to the U.S. National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, the five major signs of stroke are the sudden onset of:

1. Numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body. The loss of voluntary movement and/or sensation may be complete or partial. There may also be an associated tingling sensation in the affected area.
2. Confusion, trouble speaking or understanding. Sometimes weakness in the muscles of the face can cause drooling.
3. Trouble seeing in one or both eyes
4. Trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
5. Severe headache with no known cause

THEY HAVE COME SO FAR IN STROKE TREATMENT, THAT YOU CAN RETURN TO A NORMAL LIFE, AS LONG AS YOU ACT VERY FAST!!!!
