First off: everyones situation is different. But, here is what ive dealt with in the past. 2 yrs ago group of us friends went canoeing for wknd. My husbands best friend was riding in back of truck thru campgrounds. He fell out hit head on side of concrets low-water bridge. He was life flighted out, had multiple skull fractures, bleeding on both sides of brain, was in medical induced coma for 2 wks ICU another wk and then: VOILA thru a couple wks of inpatient therapy he was released. He at the time was in his second yr of school to become a licensed anesthesiologist, he has since completed and works in the surgery dept.
To relieve the pressure the blood on the brain was causing he did have stints put in during one of his many surgeries. Not to say it wasnt an uphill battle but he was 26 at the time and they say younger ppl bounce back quicker. Once again everyone is different but the doctors all expected him to die and he didnt! So continue to pray. I know I didnt have much medical answers I just wanted to share my story, just to let u know that miracles do happen.
) he somehow fell off his bike.. came home that night. didnt say much went to bed... next day he got up saying his head was killing him.. trip to emergancy then off to the IWK childrens hospital... Now hes been in there for a week... Removing blood from around his brain.And has a broken vertabre somewhere in his spine. its hard to deal with right now because his children are like our nieces and nephews.
