On October 3, 2009 my best friend was driving home and suffered an aneurysm which resulted in a traumatic car accident. She was thrown from the car and suffered a broken neck. While in the hospital it was discovered that she has 2 aneurysms along with the broken neck. Arrowhead Regional did not have the equipment necessary to help her so she was sent to Cedars.

Thankfully they were able to bolt her neck back together but she is not the person that I know and love. We are fortunate that she is up and walking, can write her name (not well, but she can do it) and can draw a clock although she has a hard time with the numbers, her short term memory is gone. We are praying with rehab that she will return to a fairly normal way of life someday.

Throughout all of this I have been doing all that I can to help her adult children deal with this. It wasn't until I found Brainstorming 4 Us that we really started to get some hope. We don't know our rights or the law and are thankful that we found this group.
