Staff on Silver Cross Hospital’s neurology floor marvel at how far Clarke Christiansen has come since suffering a debilitating stroke last August and being unable to move his limbs or swallow. In f…
Clarke Christiansen, of New Lenox, credits his wife, Jenn, for much of his strength during recovery, at which time their pup, Velma, was able to visit a few times. A 53-year-old New Lenox man is one patient the staff on Silver Cross Hospital’s neurology floor won’t soon forget.
When Christiansen’s symptoms started Aug. 1, they were mild. He did not feel quite right and his vision was “weird.”“I didn’t sleep very well and my left hand was starting to tingle,” he said.“Neither one of us suspected stroke. As a fairly in shape 52-year-old guy, I was not expecting to have a stroke,” said Christiansen, who had no significant health issues.
It had been more than four hours since the onset of his first symptoms the night before, so Christiansen was unable to receive the clot-busting drug tenecteplase, Shimkus said. Christiansen could not swallow, so a nasogastric tube was inserted to give him nutrition and medicine. He also was unable to control his display of emotions. He would cry uncontrollably, “ugly crying,” Christiansen said, or laugh uproariously at something that was only mildly funny.Later, he learned that the exaggerated emotions, known as emotional lability, were a result of the stroke.
Their 20-year-old son visited his father, too, but “It was tough for him to see his dad in a hospital bed,” Christiansen said. Inspired by his “tremendous can-do attitude,” and that his first name is Clarke, like Superman’s secret identity, Clark Kent, Aggen gave Christiansen a Superman T-shirt.His recovery “was so much better than I expected,” Aggen said. She remembers one day she saw him in the AbilityLab.
