Ronaldo's mother is in emergency hospital.

Soccer's mother, Cristiano Ronaldo, has suffered a stroke, and has been taken to the hospital immediately. Dolores Aveiro is said to have been sent to Dr Nelio Mendica Hospital on her native island of Madeira shortly after 5: 00 a.m.

Local media report it is conscious and stable. It will undergo new tests within the next hours to determine its state of health.

A local report says that it has suffered a utero stroke caused by a blood clot blocking or inserting a blood vessel into the brain. This is the most common type of blow.
Early last year, Dolores found that she was fighting for her life after a difficult illness, cancer. She was cured of breast cancer after being diagnosed with the disease in 2007.

In 2009, football star Ronaldo donated 100,000 pounds to build a new cancer center at his mother's hospital.

But, in February of last year before a trip to Italy to celebrate her son's 35th birthday, she admitted there were new health problems. /tpz/
