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.

Many of the statements were inaccurate and not clinically correct. The classification of brain injury was narrowed too much. While you can make a general claims not all brain injuries are the same. I know that brain injury is a debilitating thing not only to the patient but the family as well. 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. Unfortunatly, you have had a terrible experience with one rehab facility.
