The day started liked any other for Brad and Sara Fahrenkamp with breakfast before work with their two little boys.

Fahrenkamp told Ivanhoe, “He said I just don’t feel well, I feel kind

Throughout their marriage, Brad had always been healthy. By nighttime they knew something was very wrong.
Stroke
patient, Brad Fahrenkamp told Ivanhoe, “My left arm and part of my face
were numb and tingling. I went to stand up to dress myself and I fell
right to the floor.
Sara Fahrenkamp said, “I was absolutely
shocked when the physician in the ER said to us, your husband has had
not just one stroke, but three strokes.”
A stroke occurs when
blood flow is blocked to the brain or blood leaks in the brain and
damages cells. Symptoms occur in the parts of the body controlled by
those cells.
Neurological Physical Therapist for the University of
Cincinnati , Paige Thomas, PT-MSR told Ivanhoe, “The quicker that you
can obtain emergency services and emergency care, the quicker you can
receive treatment and medication that can hopefully stop the stroke or
prevent it from becoming worse.”
That’s why experts say it’s
important to know the stroke warning signs. Signs include numbness or
weakness in your face, arm, or leg, speech or vision problems,
dizziness, severe headache and nausea.
Brad survived and is recovering well thanks to intensive therapy.Doctors with the American Stroke Association say that your chances of
recovery are better if you can get medical treatment within about 3
hours of a stroke. While stroke can happen to anyone, smoking, diabetes,
and high blood pressure are significant risk factors.
