One of the worst and most permanent life-altering injuries a person can have is a brain injury. Because the brain controls everything, everything can be compromised in some way. From speech to overall motor function, life can be changed. Some individuals have such intense brain trauma that they enter into a vegetative state and that leaves families with difficult decisions to make, such as entrusting a facility with their loved one’s care.
We sympathize with you because of what you and your family are going through. A traumatic brain injury affects everyone. Every symptom, every report from the doctor, and every time that extra effort has to be put out for a person who was totally able bodied not that long ago is undoubtedly difficult for you. That is why it is important to do what is necessary to establish a better quality of life for everyone.

Physical symptoms can include headaches, dizziness, ringing in the ears, sensory changes, sleep disorders, seizures, and fatigue.
