Ariana's Story

Ariana
Age 10
Children's Specialized Hospital
Traumatic Brain Injury

Doctors witnessed a miracle the night 7-year-old Ariana was pierced with an arrow. She wasn’t supposed to live, but she fought through that first critical night and hasn’t given up since.

After a seven-week coma, Ariana awoke and began to face the effects of a massive stroke and aneurysm. Taking her diagnosis and recovery one day at a time, Ariana never gave up hope but fought with a smile and cheerful attitude.

Today, Ariana continues to progress with cognitive, speech, occupational and physical therapy. Her strong spirit helps her keep up with all her favorite things, including music, dancing and soccer. Her recovery is a reminder of the importance of staying strong, especially when times are tough.
