Kelly Millus: Quick Action May Prevent Stroke Damage

On January 2, Kelly Millus awoke at 5 AM to attend to her Christmas puppy, Bentley, and then went back to sleep. Two hours later, her alarm buzzed. "I reached over to shut it off and slid out of bed," she recalls.

She could not feel or move her left side. Her boyfriend Ron called her health plan hotline to describe her symptoms and was told to dial 911. Ms. Millus, 46, had suffered a stroke.
