Horizons of Traumatic Brain Injury Recovery This book tells the story of the worst possible human injury — brain trauma — but with a full recovery. A surface read finds a medical case study. Below the surface lives an uncommon love story. But at the deepest level is a story of faith in God, determined hard work and recovery. The injury occurred as a young man impaired on marijuana turned right on red and struck the 69-year-old pedestrian in the crosswalk. To relieve high intracranial pressure, surgeons removed a hemisphere of Martha’s skull. They evacuated large intracerebral hematomas caused by the contusion where the car struck her right temporal lobe. Severe traumatic brain injury requires 1-3 years of recovery. Martha’s took over two years. Surgeons and physicians noted her remarkable recovery. Five months after the injury neurosurgeons replaced her skull bone. The book contains medical, surgical and therapy records that document the before and after conditions of Martha. It also contains police and court records of the driver’s crimes and case. Martha felt Our Father’s help and assurance during her long recovery. Tom received a poem giving them a promise and him an assignment: I have done what only I can do; I always do what is best. You must do what only you can do; I leave to you the rest. This set the pattern for Martha — full recovery, and for Tom — her caregiver. Visit link text

The dramatic story of one man’s recovery offers new hope to those suffering from concussions and other brain traumas In 1999, Clark Elliott suffered a concussion when his car was rear-ended. Overnight his life changed from that of a rising professor with a research career in artificial intelligence to a humbled man struggling to get through a single day. At times he couldn’t walk across a room, or even name his five children. Doctors told him he would never fully recover. After eight years, the cognitive demands of his job, and of being a single parent, finally became more than he could manage. As a result of one final effort to recover, he crossed paths with two brilliant Chicago-area research-clinicians—one an optometrist emphasizing neurodevelopmental techniques, the other a cognitive psychologist—working on the leading edge of brain plasticity. Within weeks the ghost of who he had been started to re-emerge. Remarkably, Elliott kept detailed notes throughout his experience, from the moment of impact to the final stages of his recovery, astounding documentation that is the basis of this fascinating book. The Ghost in My Brain gives hope to the millions who suffer from head injuries each year, and provides a unique and informative window into the world’s most complex computational device: the human brain.
