Makenna Cook - 23-year-old suffers brain aneurysm

When Chad Cook's daughter Makenna returned home on Sunday she suffered a sudden headache and got on her knees, asking God for help. Moments later she couldn't feel her fingers and had trouble speaking. Then her pupils went to the back of her eyes. Shocked, her family rushed her to Union General Hospital in Blairsville, then to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville. Hospital staff said Makenna had an AVM aneurysm and told them to tell her goodbye.

I too survived a brain aneurysm on June 29, 2017. They gave me a 3% chance of living. My sister told me my brain was full of blood. My brothers and sisters in Christ prayed over me. I was in a coma for a week, then I started to come completely conscious. It took a while. I stayed in hospital another week or two for therapy. I got wheeled to the front of hospital when I was discharged and got up and walked to my sister’s car. My biggest deficits are a lack of balance and short term memory which is a bit severe. But I am 72 now so I think age has also added on. They found another small aneurysm and several infarcts in my brain but I am still going strong. I will pray for you Makenna. Be encouraged, God is not done yet. You are a miracle and so am I. He still does miracles today. Be blessed.

Don't let doctors tell you when to let go. You will know it. They told us to stop care on my mother, giving us this story about how she was suffering. In a few days she was eating and speaking. Hospitals do not want patients to die in the hospital they want them to die in hospice because that death goes against the hospital. Always remember there is something in it for the other guy when they're trying to force you to do something. My mother was not going to live a long time but she didn't have several weeks more that she could communicate and we could be with her and I would not give up this week for anything thank God we were tough enough to wait until WE knew that it was time.

14 years ago our son who was 6 at the time received a traumatic brain injury from falling out of a tree. He fell 8-10 feet onto pavement. He sustained a 6” skull fracture along with bleeding, bruising and swelling on her brain. He was in a medical induced coma for 13 days. The drs said they couldn’t tell us how the brain damage would affect him until he woke up and showed us. He’s now 20 years old and has made a full recovery. He’s a very hard construction worker who plans to start his own business soon. I know that God has a special plan for his life. He’s been such a blessing to us.

My Mother was 7 months pregnant with my older brother, when she suffered a massive brain anerurysm (stroke) She was in a coma for 2 weeks, and in the hospital for 2 months and 9 days. She was completely paralyzed on her left side. She spent her 21st birthday in the hospital. They did not have physical therapy back then. They wanted to brain surgery, but back then, my mother felt it may kill her. My father constantly prayed for her and my brother, along with many others. My Mother made a full recovery. It took years to build up her strength. She had to learn to walk all over again, by holding onto a wooden chair and pushing it. My Mother was considered a miracle, and she took a chance to have me, 5 years later. My Mother lived 52 more years, until she got brain cancer and died. I fell so blessed to have the parents I was given. I do believe in miracles. They did not think my Mother would make it, either, and she did to live a good life for 52 more years.

My baby started crying in the morgue when they rushed her to emergency where I met her. Second I placed my hand at her hand she grasped my hand and stopped crying. All the first responders asked me what God I believe in, I made the sign of the cross and said I am Greek Orthodox, my God is my Heavenly Father!

Continued physical therapy and nurse care follow up at home, lost 42 pounds, and almost died twice. This is no comparison by any means, but an acknowledgement of God's goodness! Praising God for his incredible goodness, grace, mercy, and faithfulness. I can now stand, walk, vacuum, climb of flight of stairs (very carefully), and am praising God every step of the way for McKenna and myself. ❤ Exodus 14:14 "The Lord will fight for you; you need only be still." I received this scripture four separate times on this horrible journey and knew that God would be faithful to me because he was at work! In September, I will return to the university to continue my MA program only because of God's goodness! 👩‍🎓Praying for McKenna's continued improvement!

As a Paramedic you should always call EMS. I mean unless you can see the Hospital with your eyes, call 911. If for no other reason that its safer for all parties plus Paramedics are a walking ER. They can stabilize you and give the ER a heads up so when you come through the doors the life saving team is awaiting you. Thanks for sharing your story

[@michellecollard760]

Yes! This!

[@gaillessard2786]

They can also cost you precious time. I got shot in the head and it took them in a small town half hour. I could have driven to the hospital in 3 or 4 times in that time.

[@naligsEkr]

I hope you don't mind me asking you....but why don't ambulances carry blood + transfused on scene. I know that a lot more pts would live. For stabbings + other severe blood loss injuries they lose so much blood at the scene + I feel many pts would survive if transfused ASAP.

[@sandihendrickson3393]

@@user-oo8ei4lj6splease do not spread false information to those who are already struggling. This person did not say his daughter had a stroke due to the COVID injection rather it was COVID issues. WebMD reports that strokes and blood clots occur due to the COVID infection and the risk of a stroke due to the injection is far less risk than NOT taking the injections. I know this for a fact as a friend of mine didn’t believe in the COVID shots, and caught the second and more deadly strain of COVID resulting in a massive stroke. Since then he is educating everyone he knows to get the shots! Please do the same and educate yourself.

As a critical care paramedic for the past 14 years we have airlifted a few patients with this and they either die enroute on the way to the hospital or in the OR, or they are brain dead.

Are they brain dead tho? Or has everything shut down to allow healing, Mckennas pupils were blown, if her Dad hadn't given her a week the medical staff would have written her off as brain dead and encouraged him to pull the plug. Thankfully he gave her time
