This is Brenna, sitting on the side of the bed 6 weeks after her brain injury. The therapist who was working with her believed in her ability to recover. Unfortunately, that precious therapist had a parting of the ways with her bosses and was no longer working for the hospital after this picture was taken. When we lost this excellent therapist, Brenna spent many days without therapy.
The system was the roadblock in recovery for her as it is for the recovery for hundreds of other patients with an anoxic or hypoxic brain injury.
One of Brenna's favorite things to say to me: "Mom, it is OK to stand alone when standing alone is the right thing to do."
She was so wise and her Mama misses her wisdom.
