A must read for families/friends of TBI patients

Excellent coverage of a very difficult subject.I am a brain injury nurse @ a rehabilitation hospital and have worked w/TBI patients for 20 years. This book takes you through the unfortunate experience about as well as anything I have yet read.I bought this for my daughter whose longtime boyfriend suffered a closed head injury in April,2008. She could not put this book down for 3 days. Excellent info/insight.

Living with Brain Injury: A Guide for Families, Second Ed.

This was an excellent book. It's easy to read and well organized. Great references for further reading and help. If your loved one recently suffered a TBI this is the book to read. It will answer alot of the questions you will have as they progress in treatment. This book will explain the medications, treatment procedures etc that your loved one may be going through. I wish I would have gotten this book from the beginning. This is an excellent book to purchase for someone as soon as possible. It will help guide you through the process and what to expect.

Something Positive in a Negative Arena

After living with and caring for my 31 year old son, who suffers from a TBI, reading this book was a positive lift. It gave me hope, new ideas to try, and support for me and the rest of my family. TBI's are terrible injuries, especially when they are as severe as my son's; having reading material at hand that is well written and filled with good information is wonderful.

The absolute best book on living with Traumatic Brain Injury

All the other books I've read on that subject (my husband has TBI) are too techical. This is written in easy to understand languate and gives you the truth on what to expect when your loved one has a TBI.

An excellent resource!

As a mother of a 15 yr old boy who has a TBI, I've read many books about brain injury. This book is an excellent resource...describing head trauma and how different functions can be affected. It also explains how a person actually comes out of a coma in gradual stages. It addresses so many pertinent issues...I'm so glad I was able to add it to my library.
