Families Living with Traumatic Brain Injury
John W. Cassidy and Karla Dougherty
(Out of Print: available at Walmart, and online: eBay and Used Bookstores)
If your loved one has experienced a traumatic brain injury (TBI), you know that its effects can be devastating and often challenging to understand. It may feel like your world has shifted on its axis, and you'll never get your bearings. Navigating the morass of doctors, medical terms, and the healthcare system can be daunting, especially when you want only what's best for the person you love. More than 6.3 million Americans have a severe disability caused by a traumatic brain injury. Because it's so commonplace but little talked of, TBI is often called the ''silent epidemic.'' In these pages, Dr. Cassidy walks you through the different types of brain injury, explodes the common myths surrounding it, demonstrates how TBI may affect memory, behavior, and social interaction, explores the newest options in treatment and rehabilitation, and shows you how to hold on to your sense of self as you journey through. Along with the practical information you'll need, Mind Storms offers a constellation of instructive, moving stories from families and patients who are slowly but surely finding their way back. Their experiences are sure to inspire you and yours.

A True Story of Overwhelming Loss and an Overcoming Love
A True Story of Overwhelming Loss and an Overcoming Love
Katherine Wolf, Jay Wolf, Joni Eareckson Tada (Foreword)
Katherine and Jay married right after college. On April 21, 2008, as their six-month-old son, James, slept in the other room, Katherine collapsed, suffering a massive brain stem stroke without warning. Miraculously, Jay came home in time and called for help. Katherine was immediately rushed into brain surgery, and though her chance of survival was slim, she did. Defying every prognosis, they struggled to reclaim their life as Katherine re-learned to talk, eat, and walk. They chose to embrace this new life, and in doing so, Katherine and Jay found what we all long to find...a hope that heals our broken places and our hearts.
Blood vessels exploded in Jill Taylor's brain. As a 37-year-old Harvard-trained brain scientist, she not only sensed the damage as it was happening but understood it might leave her unable to walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life--which it did. With the help of her mother, Jill completely recovered. In My Stroke of Insight, she shares her recommendations for recovery and the insight she gained into the unique functions of the two halves of her brain. Her mission is to not only help others rebuild their brains after trauma but those with normal brains to better understand how to influence the way they consciously think, feel, and react to life's circumstances.
