A North Texas father is counting his blessings after suffering two back-to-back strokes. Doctors say quick actions are what saved his life. Just eight months ago, 37-year-old Miguel Palacios was fighting for his life. “I just remember being dizzy and then telling my wife, ‘Hey, call the ambulance. Something is wrong,'” said Palacios. The father of four says he had woken up dizzy and confused. His wife called 911. “I remember them putting me in the ambulance and going to sleep for seven days. That’s it. I woke up seven days later. I don’t know what happened,” he said. An MRI revealed Miguel had a brain bleed, and he was immediately life-flighted to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Plano where he underwent surgery. “It can spontaneously occur. It can happen from trauma. Can happen from a car accident,” said neurosurgeon Dr. Jason Taub.
