The Tea Room Community Group
This is a private group by invitation only. It is a group for those who have a loved one with a brain injury. This group was not founded by me but I will serve as the founder temporarily as one of the first members.
My husband was hit by a car on July 6th, was in an induced coma for 6 weeks, and has slowly gotten to the point where he seems to look at/see people with his eyes, but doesn't necessarily seem to recognise them. He only can move his eyes, his head slightly and a few of his fingers slightly.
I am trying NOT to lose hope, but it is hard. I am scared if he doesn't make continued progress soon, they will send him home like this. . .
