TBI Caused by an Auto Accident
by: Debi on Mon, Aug 27 2007

My son Bradley had just turned 18 years old on July 25 and on August 12 he was involved in an auto accident in which a car that was drag racing another car hit the car he was riding in. Right now he is still in the trauma center with Traumatic Brain Injury and a Neurogenic Fever. He has been in there for 15 days now without any changes. I wish I knew how long it takes for cranial edema to go away and his ICP to stabilize so that they can take him out of the drug-induced coma. His body is extremely swollen and he has a red rash with blisters over most of his body. The worst part is waiting for things to change for the better.

  • AND LIFE GOES ON - by LORIE - (Wed, Aug 29 2007)
    On 1/06/02, I was in a severe MVA coma 3 months. Then an N.H. 57 days. Then out to the real world. I am between 20 surgeries (love the metal that holds my face together and my right arm.) [more..]

  • Life after a brain injury - by Mike - (Wed, Aug 22 2007)
    My name is Mike and I am recovering from a traumatic brain injury that occurred when a horse that I trained and was riding ran off with me and fell when crossing a paved road. I went down with the horse and hit my head on the road. I can only guess this because I don’t remember any of it and nobody saw it happen. [more..]
  • My nephew fell from a motorcycle - by SSR - (Wed, Aug 15 2007)
    My nephew fell from a motor cycle two weeks back, the one time he did not wear a helmet. He fell on his head, did not have any bruises on his body, but got severe head injury. The doctors had to open his skull and scrape/clean up the clotted blood. He is still in the intensive care. It looks like there was some swelling and drainage in the brain this week. He is only 21 yrs old and it’s heart-breaking to see this happen. I will continue updating his progress. [more..]
