Toddler's accident uncovers life-saving stroke in baby sister
A Colorado mother rushed her four-month-old daughter Hazel to the hospital after her three-year-old accidentally dropped her. Initial tests showed Hazel had extremely low oxygen levels, later attributed to a perinatal stroke caused by a placental blood clot. An MRI in May 2025 confirmed the stroke, which left Hazel with developmental delays and ongoing therapies. The mother credits Harper's frightening accident with saving Hazel's life and is now urging more thorough prenatal screening and prompt medical care for warning signs to prevent such outcomes.
