I think the information from you has been the best I have received so far. Thank you and i will continue to need your knowledge and support. My husband was in an ATV accident, he was riding alone and with no helmet on and has been in the hospital ever since. His injury was so severe they removed part of the brain to relieve the pressure. He is now stable and ready to recover and i have faith he will.

On October 3, 2009 my best friend was driving home and suffered an aneurysm which resulted in a traumatic car accident. She was thrown from the car and suffered a broken neck. While in the hospital it was discovered that she has 2 aneurysms along with the broken neck. Arrowhead Regional did not have the equipment necessary to help her so she was sent to Cedars.

Thankfully they were able to bolt her neck back together but she is not the person that I know and love. We are fortunate that she is up and walking, can write her name (not well, but she can do it) and can draw a clock although she has a hard time with the numbers, her short term memory is gone. We are praying with rehab that she will return to a fairly normal way of life someday.

Throughout all of this I have been doing all that I can to help her adult children deal with this. It wasn't until I found Brainstorming4us that we really started to get some hope. We don't know our rights or the law and are thankful that we found this group.

 

I just want to thank you for everything you are doing to make more doctors and people aware of what this does to a person  suffering a Mild or Severe brain injury, it changes there lives forever... Thank you so much, for all your support and for your wonderful book that surely has made me wiser and has opened my eyes to understanding a Brain injury and to get to understand my daughter, it has been so helpful and full of knowledge that I just want to share with all these people that have a TBI and do not know that much about the after effects etc.
