FOX4: Lenexa Mom Grateful for Recovery After Hemorrhagic Stroke

A Lenexa mom lives and is recovering well after having a hemorrhagic stroke while pregnant.

Kelsey Kellenberger was 24 weeks pregnant when she suffered a massive and rare brain bleed due to an irregular formation of blood vessels in the brain called an arteriovenous malformation (AVM).

FOX4 talked with Dr. Yifei Duan, neurosurgeon at Saint Luke's Marion Bloch Neuroscience Institute, and the now 36-year-old mother of two who is grateful to be alive.
