It was 5:30 on a Saturday morning in August. It was quiet in Gabriel Silva’s house. Axel, their one - year - old family dog, jumped on Gabriel’s parents’ bed to wake them up. They guessed he needed to go outside.
But Axel wouldn’t go out. When Gabriel’s father opened the back door, Axel rushed toward Gabriel’s room. Inside, Gabriel was awake. He woke up at around 5 a.m. and couldn’t feel anything in one of his arms. There, he lost his balance and fell on the floor.
Gabriel’s father followed Axel to his room. He told his father that he was trying to walk but the right side of his body could feel nothing. His father could hardly understand him. Gabriel’s speech was unclear. He drove Gabriel to a hospital. Doctors said that he was having a stroke (中风). It happens when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off.
Gabriel has got back his ability to speak and walk. The doctors treated Gabriel and said that Gabriel might have never recovered if Axel hadn’t made the family wake up that morning.
Gabriel said there were no warning signs before the stroke. One of Gabriel’s blood vessels had torn, the doctor said. The blood vessel was connected to Gabriel’s brain. The tear stopped blood from flowing to part of his brain. During a stroke, neurons (神经元) in the brain, which receive and send messages from the body to the brain, die from being short of blood.
Gabriel said he still didn’t have much feeling on the right side of his body. He learned to write and eat with his left hand. He took medicines every day and had special training two days per week. For now, Gabriel is being home - schooled. He hopes to return to high school in December.
Gabriel’s father said Axel had never stopped watching over his son. Since Gabriel returned home, Axel has followed him around the house and slept in his room. He seldom left his side. The doctor said Axel was worthy of a lot of credit (赞扬). “It’s amazing how immovable (不动摇的) a dog was when he knew something was going on,” he said.
