@aka_errrwin: Archie got a traumatic brain injury while in the care of a babysitter. He suffered from brain bleeding resulting in surgery to remove half his skull to relieve pressure off his brain. He had a fracture to the back of his skull, bleeding behind his retinas and (3) fractures to his vertebrae’s between his shoulder blades. He has damage to about 60% of his brain. He spent a total of 40 days in the PICU and another 75 days in the intensive rehab. To this day (over a year later) he still can’t walk, can’t talk, can’t safely eat orally and gets all his medications and feeds through feeding tube in his belly. He has left side neglect and can’t see on his left side without assistance. He has dystonia which causes his muscle to move without control. He has sensory needs that affect him every second of everyday. He doesn’t understand how to make choices so he can’t play with toys or other children. Archie still has a long road to recovery and we are in works of getting him into a stem cell therapy to help rebuild some of his losses in his brain.
