A seven year old girl who suffered a stroke while playing on a slide, has had to have a third of her skull removed. Charliee Sue Salisbury’s dad, Danny Salisbury, “instantly” noticed a change in his daughter’s face on February 9 while they were at a local park.
As he waited for her at the bottom of the slide, the 43-year-old saw that the left side of Charliee’s face had dropped before she collapsed trying to stand up. She was rushed to Watford General Hospital, Hertfordshire, where a CT scan revealed a large blood clot in her brain had caused a stroke.
Charliee was then transferred to Royal London Hospital where doctors attempted to remove the clot 12 times over five hours but were unsuccessful. In the early hours of February 10, surgeons removed a third of Charliee’s skull due to dangerous swelling in her brain.
Following the successful procedure, the family was sent to Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) where Charliee remained sedated until February 14. Although she can mumble, her movement is limited and she currently has no function on the left side of her body. Read More Below
Charliee will require further surgery to fit a metal plate to her skull and doctors predict a three-month recovery period in a rehabilitation centre.
