In the very beginning, I didn’t want to know anything because I was so scared. But a little while later … the doctors would throw out tidbits to me, like he might never speak again and he might never walk again … but I couldn’t understand why. So then I wanted to understand the part of the brain that was injured and why he was having these symptoms or why he was having this diagnosis. - Patty H.
