Brain Injury – My Son’s Story & New Changes

In this weeks Single Mom Podcast (after returning from a year off of podcasting) I decided that since I had blogged about my son's seizure during our vacation that I should give a little more background on how my son's brain injury occurred.

My son and his twin brother are shaken baby survivors. When Gage was 5 months old his father shook him so severely that he was hospitalized. His injuries were so severe that the doctors weren't sure he would survive them, and IF he did they believed he would spend the rest of his life in a vegetative state.

Gage spent a month and a half in Children's Hospital fighting for his life. During that time I was dealing with the criminal case against their father as well as a social services case. (There is a blog post and podcast in the works about that part.) Listen to the episode to hear more…
