It was just weeks before Christmas, when Lexie suddenly went limp.
“I knew immediately that something was seriously wrong,” Lexie’s mum, Krystal, recalls. “We rushed her straight to the hospital.”
At just two years old, Lexie was diagnosed with a stroke.
The news was devastating. “We didn’t even know that kids could have strokes,” Lexie’s mum says. “It ripped me into pieces.”
Thankfully, she made great progress in her recovery, and they were discharged from hospital a week later.
But just four weeks later, their hearts shattered all over again.
Lexie was having another stroke. She was placed on a breathing tube and rushed to the intensive care unit, unable to speak or move.

“We have never been so completely helpless and broken,” her mum shares.
Lexie spent seven weeks in the hospital, including five weeks of intensive rehabilitation. But through hard work and resilience, she began to regain her strength.
“Despite suffering two strokes and being left with a brain injury and visual impairment, we watched as our brave little girl beat the odds. She’s our miracle and we are so proud of her,” her mum reflects.
