Carly Bryson hasn't added a story.
I had prayed not to have to do this, but I now find myself in the position of having to ask for help with expenses incurred and continuing to be incurred due to the traumatic brain injury my son suffered in 2011 at the age of 25. He now needs additional brain injury rehab which will be partially paid but there are still medical deductibles and other out of pocket expenses which we are no longer able to help with. His immediate needs include funds for a brain scan and MRI that needs to be done to determine if there are any new bleeds on his brain that could be responsible for some regression and cognitive issues as well as funds to help with his high deductibles so he can begin the outpatient therapy as soon as possible to help prevent any further damage. If you can afford any amount to go toward these costs so that I can continue to get my son the help he needs in order to fully recover, I would be eternally grateful so thank you very much in advance.

The following is some information about Traumatic Brain Injury that you may not be aware of:
Severe TBI Symptoms Brain injuries can range in scope from mild to severe. My son had a severe brain injury due to a fall that required intensive surgery called a craniotomy where they removed a part of his skull to relieve the pressure. He had a massive subdural hematoma which had to be removed. He had another surgery months later to replace the skull piece. He was in the hospital for some time. At the time he was brought in he was given a 50/50 chance of survival. He spent months in a post brain injury rehab facility. He now needs more outpatient therapy.
No two brain injuries are alike and the lifelong effects can be devastating. To see my son you might not know he has a scar that runs the length of his head. To just speak to him you might not understand that he has cognitive struggles every day, some which if not treated could lead to dementia or other debillitating illness. TBI is in many ways a hidden illness because sometimes the effects are not always outwardly apparent. With help many go on to lead fulfilling, productive lives.
