‘Singer/songwriter Gabrielle Mooney, sister of Dan + Shay’s Shay Mooney, faced a traumatic medical emergency that led to a life-saving brain surgery. Now, she is bravely sharing her story for the first-time ever as she continues her miraculous recovery.’
‘“I had brain surgery in February, let’s talk about it,” Gabrielle began. I was coming home to Arkansas for Valentine’s Day and got a horrible headache [and] I make it home and my mom finds me in the bathroom throwing up [and] I don’t remember any of this.”’
I’ve heard this before, where the person is awake and doing things but they don’t remember it.
‘“Again, I don’t remember any of this. They get me to [the] neighboring hospital and I don’t remember this, but I died,” she revealed.’
Died suddenly.
‘[She] then revealed that she had a very large cyst on her brain and was diagnosed with Hydrocephalus.’
‘The doctor said he put me in a case study because it was one of the biggest cysts he’s ever seen and the hydrocephalus and everything should’ve killed me and it did not,” Gabrielle continued.’
One of the biggest cysts he’s ever seen? You know, that sounds familiar. Thankful for small favors, I’m happy to report at least that this little girl’s tumor was benign (Story #10)
‘Due to her medical condition, Gabrielle Mooney has been experiencing facial paralysis, leading to symptoms such as drooping and a lopsided smile.’
Damn. Well, at least she doesn’t have shingles, or else it could have been much worse.
2) Influencer wakes from medically induced coma, reunites with baby
‘Social media influencer Jackie Miller James, who went through brain surgery and a C-section in May, is now awake, according to a statement shared by her family.’
Whoa.
‘At nine months pregnant, James suffered a brain aneurysm.’
I hope brain aneurysms aren’t contagious, because there sure are a lot of them going around.
‘She was put in a medically-induced coma, and her baby girl was hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit for 12 days due to the traumatic nature of her birth.’
Alive, though.
‘On July 2, nearly one month after the last update on her condition, James’ family revealed in a statement that she is conscious and has been transferred to a neurological rehabilitation hospital.’
‘James is on an “incredibly long road to recovery,” according to the statement. Doctors are “pleased” by her recently tests and evaluations and, the family said, she’s “performing above expectations” relative to her current stage of recovery.’
Brutal.
Jackie is 35 years old.
3) Everything we know about major emergency response on Anglesey
‘Police cars, ambulances and two air ambulances were sent to Maes Mynydd, in the Llaingoch area, of Holyhead, after an incident before 1.45pm.
There were little details from police and the Welsh Ambulance Service yesterday about the nature of the incident. But North Wales Police later released an update to say it was a "medical emergency".’
Well, there’s always a bright spot.
4) Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance makes 5000th response to time-critical emergencies
‘A tourist who collapsed while hillwalking on the west coast Isle of Luing has prompted the landmark 5000th rapid emergency response from Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA).’
Did they bring him a certificate? Or a chocolate or something?
‘Firefighters then helped stretcher the man, who had been hillwalking with his wife, to the nearby helicopter and SCAA airlifted him to advanced care at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow – just a 25-minute flight away by air ambulance, compared to several hours by road and ferry.
After a two-day stay in hospital he was well enough to return home.’
What a milestone. 5,000 flights.
And counting.

The Mustang then careened across all three travel lanes and struck a concrete median, state police said, causing it to spin out in the left lane.’
‘Approaching the scene, state police said, a 2019 Infiniti Q50 Luxe driven by a 39-year-old Stamford woman hit the Mustang head-on.

‘The situation has taken a serious turn, raising concerns about the severity of the health issue faced by Brincos Dieras.
