Synopsis

This is an intimate story of a mother’s dedication and devotion to her teenage son’s recovery after a brutal motorcycle accident, and the things she learned through David’s long slow journey back from traumatic brain injury. This book takes place from the impact of injury through the six weeks of David’s coma. This book is for both family members who are going through this experience as well as professionals whose task and mission is to provide service and comfort to both the patient and their families. This book provides two important lessons in learning. The first is for family members to better understand the complications of traumatic brain injury and how much it takes to be an advocate. The second lesson is for professionals to realize that family members can be effective partners in the healing process once the professionals learn to listen and treat family members with more trust and respect. They both desperately need each other.
