Name: Therese M.

State: Arizona

Brain Injury: Caregiver to Son with TBI

Explanation of Brain Injury:  At 13 years old, my son suffered a severe TBI. His recovery has been miraculous.

Explanation of mask:  Upon getting the news, my own brain was a combination of focus and fog. At the E.R., I was compelled to get on my knees and pray. I felt an immediate sense of peace. That peace kept me going through my son’s month-long coma, 8-month hospital stay, and “recovery” to our new way of looking at life. That peace continued to give me hope every single day for my son’s future.
