I’m not sure which statements were inaccurate that you are referring to. Please let me know as this is one experience we will never forget. The terrible experience was not with the rehab facility as they offered some of the best care to our son. In some ways they became family. Our son continues to improve in more ways than one and we are past the 4 year mark!! This proves that there can be improvement years after the injury.

I am glad to see that you have not given up; only you as a family member can totally know the extent to what is possible. Keep up the hard work; just remember to set goals and see, really see if they are being met.
