Frisco mom survives stroke thanks to quick action and advanced care
Time is the number one commodity in the Reid-Keen household. Life can be hectic, as you might expect for a family of five. "I worried about getting the kids to their activities on time and making sure everyone had dinner—and making sure I wasn't late to pick the kids up," said Catherine Keen. "We're running around taking kids every which way—soccer, baseball, dance," said Ryan Reid, Catherine's husband. "We were both working full time." Flu slows family down Reid-Keen household But the family was forced to slow down when everyone came down with the flu during Christmas break at the end of last year. "It just hit us all hard, and it took us a while to recover," said Keen. "It took me longer to recover." Stroke strikes without warning By early January, the 43-year-old mom of three was finally starting to feel like herself again. She decided to take a little time for herself and sneak in an early morning workout while the house was still quiet. "My daughter was down the street at Grandma's, and Catherine was going to work out," said Reid. "I was going to take the boys and go have some dude time." But that plan quickly changed. Before her workout even began, Keen knew something was wrong. "I immediately felt dizzy, and I laid down on the floor," she said. Son finds mom unresponsive Just minutes later, her sons came downstairs and found her. "I said, 'Mom, are you OK?' and 'What are you doing down there?'" said Nicholas Reid, Catherine's son. "She didn't respond to either question, so I'm like, 'This isn't funny. Stop.'" Keen couldn't respond. She had just suffered a massive stroke. The clock was ticking. Fast response saves life When Reid got downstairs and saw that she still couldn't respond, he called 911. The Frisco Fire Department arrived within 10 minutes. "They recognized it immediately," said Reid. "They said, 'We think she's having a stroke, and Plano Presby is the best place to go.' I said, 'I'll race you there.'" Top stroke center in Texas Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Plano is one of fewer than 50 comprehensive stroke centers in the state. "She had a devastating stroke," said Dr. James Tatum, an interventional neuroradiologist at Texas Health Plano. "She had no speech. She couldn't talk. She was completely paralyzed on the right side of her body." Advanced stroke treatment used Tatum specializes in treating stroke patients using advanced techniques. "We're able to advance a catheter through the blood vessels to the region of the clot and extract it with suction, essentially reestablishing blood flow," he said. Recovery begins within days That life-saving technology, combined with the fast actions of everyone involved, is why Keen was discharged from the hospital after just a few days—and has since made a nearly full recovery. "If it had been 30 minutes sooner, we would have been asleep. If it had been 30 minutes later, the boys and I would have been gone," said Reid. "With a stroke, every minute counts." Stroke warning for others That's what Keen wants others to know: if you see signs of a stroke, don't wait—call 911. "I was so fortunate because my son found me in less than 15 minutes from when I went down," said Keen. "So I'm definitely a survivor. I'm so lucky." Family grateful for recovery "Lucky" doesn't begin to describe how her family feels. "I'm just grateful—grateful that I can get back to worrying about silly stuff like the grocery list or cleaning the pool, and not when her next appointment is," said Reid.

Female tennis players granted WTA ranking protection during fertility procedures
The WTA will now protect the rankings of female tennis pros who take time away from competition to undergo fertility protection procedures, the tour announced Wednesday. The player-led measure will allow female tennis players to use a special entry ranking (SER) for up to three tournaments if they choose to undergo a "fertility protection procedure such as egg or embryo freezing." "By introducing this new form of ranking protection, the WTA helps to support and empower women athletes to balance a professional sports career with planning and starting a family at a time of their choice," the tour said in a news release Wednesday. The new measure adds to the WTA's Family Focus Program, which already includes ranking protection during pregnancies or other means of parenthood and postpartum support. It also follows the WTA's announcement in March that tennis players on tour can receive 12 months of paid maternity leave. "I'm incredibly proud of our sport in recognizing the importance of fertility treatments for female athletes," 2017 U.S. Open champion Sloane Stephens said in a statement provided by the tour. "For any woman, the conversation of family life versus a career is nuanced and complex. The WTA has now created a safe space for players to explore options and to make the best decisions for themselves. It's truly groundbreaking and will empower this generation, and future generations of players, to continue with the sport they love without having to compromise." Speaking to the BBC, Stephens explained her own experiences and the challenges she faced under the previous rules. "The first time I did it, I rushed back, and I was overweight and not happy and just very stressed out," she told the outlet. "The second time I did it, I took a totally different approach so I could just be in better shape. I could have the surgery. I could have more time to recover. "Having the protected ranking there, so that players don't feel forced to come back early and risk their health again, is the best thing possible." The SER will be based on the 12-week average of the player's WTA ranking from eight weeks prior to the start of their out-of-competition period.

How UT Dallas researchers are helping spinal injury patients reclaim their lives
With a tablet propped up in front of him and a joystick-like device in hand, Marshall Bell looks like he's playing a video game. But it's actually physical therapy — powered by innovative, Texas-developed technology that's changing his life. "I can officially shampoo my hair with my injured arm," said Bell, 35, of Arlington, with a smile. "It might take a while, but I am just ecstatic to be able to get it to touch my —" he said, moving his hand to his head to demonstrate. Life changed by hit-and-run Marshall Bell, 35 CBS News Texas In 2016, Bell was hit by a car while walking along a Fort Worth street. The driver didn't stop. Bell was left with a partially severed spine and a devastating prognosis. "His name was Dr. Gundy," said Bell. "He pulled my father into the room and told him, 'You need to make arrangements for your son. He might not be able to do anything on his own ever again.'" At the time, Bell could only move his index finger. But he was determined to recover. Over time, he regained the ability to walk—but he wanted more. UT Dallas leads breakthrough Bell joined a groundbreaking study led by researchers at the University of Texas at Dallas. The study centers on a tiny, implantable device that stimulates the vagus nerve during physical therapy. "That's the device," said Robert Rennaker, Ph.D., a retired Marine turned neuroscience professor and inventor. "It's just a little circuit board inside some glass." Tiny device, big results The device is implanted through a small incision in the neck and zip-tied to a nerve. It doesn't require batteries, is MRI-safe, and is charged externally with a device that resembles headphones. "I can't feel it at all," said Bell. "In the test trials, I thought I had the placebo. Then they pressed it, and I felt the shock. I was like, 'Oh, all right, it's there!'" Rewarding the brain's effort During therapy, the device stimulates the vagus nerve to reward successful movements. "I always tell people, I like to golf. I hit the ball well, and I'm like, yeah!" said Rennaker. "We're doing that, but we're doing it artificially." "It's not exciting to relearn how to pick up a cup or put in an earring," said Jane Wigginton, M.D., chief medical officer at the Texas Biomedical Device Center at UT Dallas. "So we give them that same little zap to the vagus nerve that releases those same chemicals. It lays down that pathway so it gets easier and easier." Hope for long-term injuries Wigginton said the study has shown unprecedented recovery rates for spinal cord injuries, regardless of how much time has passed. She cited examples like Hal, who is now able to point and type 40 years after his injury, and Amanda, who can now put on earrings by herself. "In my mind, it's like a miracle," said Wigginton. Years of research pay off The research builds on more than a decade of neuroscience and bioengineering work at UT Dallas. Previous studies showed that vagus nerve stimulation during therapy could rewire the brain after a stroke. Now, the same approach is helping spinal cord injury patients make progress once thought impossible. "I can officially dress myself completely," said Bell. "And I can fully open mason jars now! It's the little things." Texas at the forefront The Communities Foundation of Texas funded the initial production of the implantable devices. Researchers are continuing to fundraise and conduct clinical trials as they pursue full FDA approval, which they hope to achieve in the next three to four years. "It's going to make North Texas the center of the universe in this sort of research," said Wigginton. "It absolutely will. It's that big." The goal, researchers say, is to help patients reclaim their lives. "I would say that is dead on what this is doing," said Bell.
