TAMPA, FLA. (WSVN) - A Florida man got to fulfill his dream of walking his daughter down the aisle.
It came six months after he suffered a life-threatening stroke.
Manuel Vera was taken to a hospital outside Tampa almost exactly a year ago.
there, he received life-saving treatment within just 25 minutes.
“The balance was completely off; I had little control of my left arm,” he said. “When they did the full evaluation after I got to therapy, and I went back to my room. I realized how serious it was.”
After six months of rehabilitation, Vera was able to walk his daughter down the aisle, and together they danced the merengue at the reception.
