Lara worked hard with pysical and occupational therapists at Christine E Lynn Rehabilitation Center for The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis at UHealth/Jackson Meri orial While her mobility improved she never regained ull function of the left side of her body.
When Jackson, lealth System and JHealth - University of Miami Health System became the first in South Florida to implant the only FDA-approved nerve stimulation device designed to help stroke survivors regain upper limb function, Lara was the recipient.
"This little girl is meant for something very big because she's a little warrior," said Maylene Gonzalez, surgery coordinator for pediatric cardiac transplant at Holtz Children's. "The fact that she tolerated ECMO for such a long time and has no lingering effects to her health is incredible."
Practice makes perfect. Read Lara's story.
