Sophie Leblond Robert was gardening when she suddenly realized something was very wrong. At the time, she didn’t know it was a brain stem stroke. And she certainly didn’t know that soon, she would be completely locked-in — able only to communicate by blinking. But Sophie was determined to get home to her husband and two young girls in time for the holidays. Watch to hear her remarkable story. https://bit.ly/4ghtODn 💙 💙 💙 Sophie Leblond Robert jardinait lorsqu'elle a soudain réalisé que quelque chose n'allait pas du tout. À ce moment-là, elle ne savait pas qu'il s'agissait d'une attaque du tronc cérébral. Et elle ne savait certainement pas qu'elle serait bientôt complètement enfermée, ne pouvant communiquer qu'en clignant des yeux. Mais Sophie était déterminée à rentrer chez elle pour retrouver son mari et ses deux filles à temps pour les fêtes de fin d'année. Regardez pour découvrir son histoire remarquable. https://bit.ly/4iCn0lh #LockedIn #LockedInSyndrome #Stroke #StrokeCare #StrokeResearch #Ottawa #OttawaHospital #InspiringPeople #Neurology #Neurologist
