The hospital has already reviewed his medical records and have decided that he [...]

As Megan mentioned in her last post, Aaron had pretty rough week, along with the weekend. The doctors have been trying to find a medication that will work with TBI and help Aaron sleep, as he averages about 3 hours a night. I believe they may have found a good combination since he got a [...]

angry, other times he extremely paranoid and delusional. But for the
majority he has been in a better mood and seems pretty lucid. His sister,
Megan, arrived last night and Aaron was very happy [...]

A reminder to check out the Auctions and Events section of the site. We’ve got some new items recently added to the Clarkie benefit Auction, and I’ve been in a fierce bidding battle for a sweet autographed and framed Nicky Hayden picture.
I’m pretty sure Marty at the 12Volt Tavern has more PBR with 100% [...]

Tuesday was a good day for Aaron. TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) is often described as a “roller coaster ride through hell”, which I find to be highly appropriate. I met with Aaron’s neuropsychologist, who has deemed Aaron to be functioning at a Rancho Level of 5 – Confused; Inappropriate Non-Agitated; Maximal Assistance. Aaron’s memories are [...]
