A STROKE OF LUCK Summary


Alex was a normal, bright, and healthy little girl, when the sudden onset of a mysterious illness began to take over her life.  Months of physical therapy and medication failed to provide relief from acute pain and muscle spasms.  Doctors across the country were at a loss for answers.  A last ditch attempt at treatment--brain surgery--ended up stopping the spasms but with unexpected, dire consequences.
