"I think I survived for a purpose, and my baby survived for a purpose, if I can help others get through what I went through. And I want to do that."

Carolina was 6 months pregnant when she had a stroke caused by a blood clot in her brain. After a second stroke, her baby girl had to be delivered by C-section. She was just 4 pounds, 3 ounces.

"Thankfully now I’m taking medications, being monitored by a hematologist and neurologist, and thanking God that my baby girl and I are both alive. I still have some left-side weakness but with patience, more therapy, and never giving up, I know I’ll continue to get better."

Were slap bracelets banned at your school? That pop was so satisfying … and probably raised our teachers’ blood pressure. Speaking of which, everyone should get their blood pressure checked at least once a year. Talk to your doctor about what the numbers mean for your overall health.
