So far, the prognosis is looking good for\u00a0Princeton freshman running back\u00a0Chuck Dibilio,\u00a0who suffered a stroke Jan. 19. But there is still no answer yet why this athlete, at the peak of his facilities, had a stroke.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Dibilio, a 19-year-old from Nazareth, Pa., underwent surgery to have a blood clot removed from the main artery of his brain at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, according to the Associated Press. He had to be transported by helicopter to that medical facility.<\/p>\r\n

Keith Groller,\u00a0a columnist for the Morning Call of Allentown, Pa., interviewed Dibilio 10 days after he had his stroke, and the star player seemed to be making good progress. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Dibilio, who was the Ivy League Rookie of the Year, was back at home and undergoing therapy three times a week. He told Groller that after the stroke, he couldn’t \u00a0speak or move his right arm and leg. Now, he says he is OK physically.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

But in a disturbing aside that rings alarms, he added, “I just need to work on my speech and some mental things.”<\/p>\r\n

Dibilio is still waiting for the results of tests that are trying to pin down what caused his stroke, according to\u00a0Groller. But apparently, doctors think there is some kind of\u00a0 link between the stroke and\u00a0a spleen infection that Dibilio had\u00a0last year, something that is causing “a clotting disorder.”<\/p>\r\n

The young athlete’s mother\u00a0said that Dibilio’s therapy is meant to improve his cognitive\u00a0and language skills, as well as his reading comprehension.\u00a0One would imagine he would need all those abilities to succeed at Princeton.<\/p>\r\n

There is no timeline yet for when,\u00a0or if,\u00a0Dibilio will return to either school or football. He said that he is optimistic. I wish him well.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
