After, she started throwing up bright orange bile and went to hospital. Hospital was more worried about orange bile, but she also had a stroke on her brain stem. There was a clot of the end of brain stem. Happened right after she took the shot. Took the three other vaccines and never had this problem. Doesn't know if it was a bad dose or what. After the fourth shot, she wound up in the hospital having a stroke. Bile was worse on the 14May2022, so she called the ambulance to take her to the hospital. She couldn't walk that day. She threw up a lot at one time. Threw up once at home and once on the ambulance. Left side being numb all over started on 14May2022. Whole left side was paralyzed. Still goes to therapy. Left side is not back all the way yet. She was in rehab at (withheld). Will continue with rehab outpatient. Stroke wasn't diagnosed until the 17May2022 when went to Dr. (name withheld) for an appointment. The numbness was present on the 14-16 of May 2022, but when she went to the emergency department, they said she was just vomiting and sent her home. When she went for her appointment with (withheld), he saw her and got upset that she wasn't checked at hospital. The stroke was on the right side which caused drooping on the left side. (withheld) had her admitted. He had to call the hospital because she wouldn't go back to the emergency department. The hospital didn't do anything for her on the 14May2022 and 15May2022. So, she waited for doctors appointment on the 17May2022. Clarified that she felt sick on the 13May2022 but wasn't vomiting yet. She went to the hospital on the 14May2022. The orange bile was what got her. That never happened before. Brain got fried, so she's not 100% on dates. She was probably admitted at the hospital until 23May2022. Then, she was discharged to (withheld) rehab. Discharged from (withheld) on the 28May2022. Want to send her back to rehab because she is not 100% there yet.

The rehab is helping her walk again. She can't walk without a walker yet, but she is better than she was when she went into the hospital. Patient was hospitalized approximately, 6 days in the hospital and 5 days in (withheld).
