Sara Brownlee was given a one per cent chance of survival after suffering a brain hemorrhage in November 2021. Now she’s back at work.

Sara Brownlee’s life hung in the balance after a November 2021 brain hemorrhage — doctors pegged her chance of survival at one per cent.“They thought I could essentially be in a vegetative state, needing to be fed and cared for my whole life,” said Brownlee, who was 46 at the time.

The new device will help thousands of patients each day with a wide range of tests relating to conditions like congestive heart failure, stroke assessment and thyroid function, along with brain conditions. “Testing helped watch how her brain was reacting to her devastating injury and manage her fluids and her electrolytes while she couldn’t eat or drink,” Hall said. “It was pivotal to making sure that her brain is recovering in a stable environment.”That included going home to husband, Matt, and daughter, Paige, who turned five a few days after the hemorrhage, “so I missed her birthday.”

Along with work and enjoying family, her recovery has included getting back into physical activities like cycling.
