Whitney’s Journey to Stroke Recovery Starts Here
On March 17, 2023, Whitney Sica’s life changed in an instant. At 37, she had a stroke that led doctors to discover a rare heart tumor. After multiple surgeries, she was told she might never move her right hand again. Whitney chose to keep going.
At NeuroAnimation, she worked with focus and determination toward one goal: moving her hand again. Then it happened: her thumb moved on its own. A small motion, but a powerful breakthrough. Today, Whitney runs, swims, and plays with her children. Her story shows that progress is possible, and hope can grow, even after the hardest moments.
