Boy, 11, asks ‘Am I going to die?’ After a playground accident causes life-threatening stroke

Cole Ditmore, 11, was an active student who participated in sports and was moderately popular in his school. But around 6 months ago, Ditmore suffered an unthinkable accident that caused him to have a stroke at such a young age.

According to People, Ditmore was at the school playground on one random afternoon with a marker in his mouth. Then without any warning, a soccer ball hit the boy directly in the center of his face. The marker was shoved to the back of his throat by the impact of the soccer ball. Immediately, Ditmore was rushed to the local Our Lady of the Lake St. Elizabeth Hospital.
