Ronee' wakes up from her coma and struggles to regain the use of her limbs again as she recovers from a devastating stroke. She also comes to terms with her emotions and her appearance.
The best thing that happened since she had the stroke was when Ronee' woke up from her drug-induced coma. She was in a coma for a week, and when she awoke, she was confused as to where she was, and what was happening to her or what was going on.
The doctors were encouraged by the fact that Ronee' knew who she was, and she also knew who we were; but she was confused as to why things "felt different" to her. That was when Dr. Emmons told her that she had suffered a stroke.
Of course, Ronee' looked at Dr. Emmons, her dark eyes full of questions; but he reassured her that the stroke was relatively minor, and that she would get the full use of her one side when she would get the needed physical therapy. She couldn't talk, as she still had the tube in her mouth, and it was rather uncomfortable.
A few days later, Ronee' had the tube removed from her mouth, and she could talk; but her voice was rather raspy and hoarse. She was also receiving therapy several times a day, and she also saw her reflection in the mirror as the therapists worked with her. Ronee' looked the same, but her mouth drooped down on one side, and when she smiled, it was as though she only had half of a smile. This embarrassed her; she was sure that she would remain this way for the remainder of her life.
One thing we noticed about Ronee' was the fact that she was unusually emotional: any little thing could set her off into a torrent of tears, and she proved to be difficult in nature, quite unlike the usually sunny Ronee' we knew before she had suffered the stroke. We took it in stride, and we tried to be supportive as she underwent lengthy (and oftentimes painful) therapy sessions. We were subjected to many times where Ronee' would scream with frustration as she tried to move her body in the way she wanted (but was oftentimes met with failure).
Besides the physical or occupational therapy, Ronee' also was receiving some speech therapy, as her speech was slightly slurred, and she tended to drool on the side where her mouth drooped. Each therapy session tested her resolve and her patience, and she was having a hard time coping with all the extra attention from strange people who were only trying to help her as she recovered from her stroke. Still, despite the tears and the frustration, she worked very hard in trying to retrain her body into moving again, and she was determined to overcome the stroke and the aftereffects it left on her.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Now, nearly three years later, Ronee' has completely recovered from her stroke. The crooked grin and the paralysis of her body is now a distant memory, and when people now look at her, they find it hard to believe that she ever suffered a stroke because she looks...well, "normal". She looks just like a typical nearly-11-year-old child who happens to be very small for her age, and she has very few lasting effects from the stroke. The only lasting effect she still has is some slight numbness and weakness in her one hand and arm. Everything else (the feeling in her side, her mouth and her speech, etc.) has returned, and Ronee' is now bursting with health and happiness. Even the moodiness has gone (only to be replaced by the moodiness caused by impending puberty!). Ronee' is now her former self, and she continues to amaze and astound her doctors even today.
