I had a stroke and was locked in. I'm fine now. I'm praying for your miracle.

That’s amazing! I am so happy for you! How long were you locked in for? How did you feel during it? Scared? Determined? Every emotion? Did you believe you could come out of it and did you have people help you? Did it happen very gradually, or randomly one day did abilities start returning? Sorry for so many questions, but I find this amazing and fascinating and want to learn more! You should create a channel if you haven’t already!

I am humbled. Every problem that I have is trivial compared to this. He is an amazing, courageous young man.
You're the man. Keep up the good work.

i think he communicates through eye movement
Anyone have an update if he has had any improvements to his condition?
Glad he's found ways to cope. My talking screen would just say "kill me kill me kill me kill me kill me" over and over again.

so sorry wendyj711
I wonder how he's doing now
That incident even happened on Halloween!
Its terrible, its a nightmare
This is horrifying to me because I get frequent bouts of sleep paralysis and its just awful. The thought of having this seems like something very similar.

I've often wondered if this is a case where psychedelics could help re-establish the neural connections. Lots of research on Lion's Mane mushrooms in this context. John Hopkins University has a lot of info on the use of psychedelics and their potential to heal the brain.

This is terrible, a good thing is that he can communicate though
How does that machine help him speak? 😯

They couldn't do a thrombectomy?
what caused his stroke at such a young age?

He had a stroke, which is often the cause when locked in syndrome happens in younger people. It’s very sad.

Probably deep vein thrombosis. When you lay motionless for a long amount of time a clot can form. When he stood out of bed the clot disloged, traveled to his brain and caused an ischemic stroke.

@@floatingchimney prob not, deep vein thrombosis would in 99% cause pulmonary embolism, and even if it would go to brain 90% of those thrombs would end in front circulation. This particular syndrome is caused by destruction of one part of truncus cerebri. So i would say that it could be some vascular malformation or something at that early age, but its rly sad anyway.

Barbara D there is a part of ‘the story’ that has been left out of the holy books. The scapegoat part was to appease the angry crowd. There was a traditional scapegoat let loose into the wild who bared the sins of all the peoples once every year. It was man’s authorities who suggested to the elders of the church that Jesus Be this scapegoat since that traditional time was close. He said let this man be your scapegoat, let him bear the sins of your peoples. The church elders agreed except this one.........They wanted Sure death and they wanted torture because he failed to bow down to them. God did not send his son to die this horrible death to wash our sins, that was the church. Jesus came Knowing this is what man’s world would do to him. He taught us How to walk through this world with our integrity intact. He Showed us that even death has no hold over God’s Children.
