Medical Awakenings

Redneck-
Thanks for the great post. I can not even imagine what it must be like to have to care for a family member with such disabilities. Rep points for you my friend!

I have worked as an assistant with Physical, Occupational, and Psychiatric therapists and brain injured people. It's "unbelievable" how many ways your brain can be effected from damage. A family member's love and tenacity for taking care of a loved one in a brain injured state.....makes me speechless with awe for these people. It's a testimony of love.
 
Bone, it makes me want to scream, thinking about being the one that's inside, and can't communicate with the world. I think that would be about the worst thing I could imagine.
 
Wow! Gives so much hope to so many. I think about some of my patients who are spinal cord and traumatic brain injuries. Maybe in the near future they can return to a much higher functional status. Have one little boy, age 3, hit by a car (driver on a cell phone in a residential area), paralyzed from neck down. Spinal cord not severed but damaged from swelling. Maybe he will run and play again, one day.

Let's all pray he will, and a lot of others in similar conditions.
