Lesley Stuart-Torrie from Penarth thought her major, life-changing experience would be the birth of her daughter Blossom. But it wasn't.
Just two weeks after her daughter's birth, Lesley found her husband having a fit in the bathroom. She says: "It was absolutely horrendous. We were living by Llandough hospital at the time and within two-and-a-half minutes the ambulance came. If they hadn't come soon and I hadn't been there, he would have died."
David was diagnosed with a subarachnoid haemorrhage, an uncommon but very serious type of stroke caused by bleeding on the surface of the brain that can be fatal.
