I’m glad your son was ok too! Not alot of people realize this can and does happen to children… We’re grateful to Jim Love for sharing this information with our community.

Same thing just happened to my 7 year old boy. Exactly the same. Scariest thing in the world. I am just glad to still have my boy.

My daughter is a stroke survivor. She was diagnosed at 10months old. It is believed that her stroke happened in utero or shortly after birth. I have to say thank you for bring attention to this matter.
I never knew that infants, children or even teens could have a stroke until my daughter was diagnosed.
I and many parents out there are trying our hardest to get the word out there. Stroke in children is so neglected that I honestly believe that if more awareness was raised my daughter would have gotten help a lot earlier. I knew something was wrong but my doctor just blew me off until I was able to show him that my daughter would reach with her left hand to her right side to grab a toy. She would not use her right hand.
I wish I would have known about strokes in children before my daughter was diagnosed so that I could have fought even more to get her help earlier..

I had no idea – thank you for sharing such valuable information. Just as heart attacks in women are often misdiagnosed because it’s the wrong demographic (men over 40), it would have never occurred to me to apply the rules for identifying a stroke to a child. Thank you – I’ll pass the information on.

I did see this on the Today show. Very scary. Who would have thought that a child could have a stroke like that.
