Brain Injury Support Group
Traumatic brain injury occurs when a sudden trauma causes brain damage. TBI can result from a closed head injury or a penetrating head injury. Symptoms of a TBI can be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on the extent of the damage to the brain. Outcome can be anything from complete recovery to permanent disability or death. A coma can also affect a child's brain.
Hi all,
My brother, Russ, had his traci taken out last week. Yeah finally. He seems to be a little more alert each week. He was holding is head up and turning it back and forth yesterday which was nice to see rather then being slumped over all the time. Hopefully things continue to improve. Thanks so much to everyone who has been so supportive. I really don't know what I would have done without this site. Thanks again. Bec

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
