When she was 22 months old, Alison accidentally fell two stories out of an open window, fracturing her skull on the cement below. Unresponsive, Alison was transported by helicopter to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, where doctors performed emergency brain surgery and told her parents their daughter might not live through the night. Following her surgery, doctors put Alison into a medically induced coma for a week to help her heal. When Alison awoke from her coma, doctors discovered that a piece of her fractured skull was pressing into her brain, causing Alison to have little-to-no control over the right side of her body. A surgery to correct the issue was successful, and Alison began her path to full recovery. Now 6 years old, Alison is a bubbly, healthy child who spends her time doing gymnastics, reading and creating arts and crafts.
