Jamie’s response, “It was the worst moment of my life,” caused Jennie to break down.

During the ordeal, their six-year-old daughter Isabel helped her father while waiting for an ambulance to arrive.

Unusual Cause of Stroke

Jennie’s stroke was triggered by the forceful coughing and a viral infection, which led to the tearing of a blood vessel and affected her carotid artery in the neck.
