Kyle Kilpatrick

Kyle (20 yrs old)  had a hemorrhagic stroke on the right side of his brain.   He was air lifted to HCMC where he had surgery to relieve hemorrhaging and swelling.  Doctors have assured that they are doing everything possible to keep him alive.  Kyle is in a medically induced coma.  The hemorrhage is usually the first sign of a brain arteriovenous malformation.  The  AVM is what ruptured and caused the hemorrhagic stroke.  The cause of brain AVM is unknown but researchers believe most brain AVMs emerge during fetal development.  Kyle is a strong young man and with the love, support and prayers, Kyle will continue to fight.
