She's suffered from epilepsy since college, when she hit her head hard in a car accident.

One day, while her husband, Ronaldinho, was at work, she felt a palpitation in her heart and realized it was a symptom of epilepsy. She lay down, grabbed her phone, and called him. He was in a meeting. When he saw her call, he left the meeting, interrupting everyone. "Yes, my love?"

While the other line was silent, his breathing was muffled and he realized she was having a seizure. Without waiting, he rushed home, not caring about anyone.

She woke up in the hospital while he was sleeping, holding her hand tightly, his face red from crying.

She was in a critical condition and might have slipped into a coma, but she survived.
