Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was two months away from getting married when I suffered my very first out-of-the-blue epileptic seizure. Along the path set before me in the years to come, with all its twists and turns, I learned to trust in God that although many things were out of my control, I was put on this blessed but sometimes broken road with purpose and I wasn't alone. I could choose to fear each of the unknown curves and bumps along the way or to have faith through them. Painful as each may have seemed at the time, I needed to endure each challenge placed before me for a specific reason. Blessed with Brain Damage is my story of faith, strength, survival, and taking things one day at a time. I may have come out of these experiences with both emotional and physical scars (from invasive brain surgery), but I have learned how much richer my life is by adopting the attitude of gratitude. Many angels, here on earth and from up above, came to my aide along the way and by sharing my encouraging story, I hope I am in my own small way paying forward the kindnesses I received. I wanted this to serve as a reminder for to my daughters of their own inherited strength as they navigate whatever roadblocks they may come across in their own lives. Blessed With Brain Damage is an essential read for anyone struggling with epilepsy, addiction, or simply in need of a message of hope, positivity, and gratitude while encountering challenging circumstances in this crazy thing called life! *A portion of the proceeds from book sales to go to the Eastern Pennsylvania chapter of the Epilepsy Foundation*

Book excerpt: Preston loved to play with all his toys when he was a little boy; he always wore his helmet when he rode on anything. I wrote this book to educate children about helmet safety and how the brain needs to be protected because it controls our body and helps us learn new things. Did you know that someone in the U.S. suffers a brain injury every 9 seconds? Preston fell while riding a skateboard and injured his brain. He will always need a caregiver to take care of him and for those around him to move him from his bed to his wheel chair. He has had hundreds of hours of therapy and can now make some sounds, but mostly communicates with his eyes and facial expressions. Preston is a fighter and is very determined to get better. His fundraising T-Shirt says, "the force is strong with this one" and it is so perfect for our Star Wars lover. My hope is that this book encourages your loved ones to be safe and to wear helmets when they are riding on anything that makes them go. Every March is Traumatic Brain Injury Awareness Month please use this book to educate others about some ways to prevent TBI's. Slow down, play safe, and wear a helmet.

Book excerpt: The dramatic story of one man’s recovery offers new hope to those suffering from concussions and other brain traumas In 1999, Clark Elliott suffered a concussion when his car was rear-ended. Overnight his life changed from that of a rising professor with a research career in artificial intelligence to a humbled man struggling to get through a single day. At times he couldn’t walk across a room, or even name his five children. Doctors told him he would never fully recover. After eight years, the cognitive demands of his job, and of being a single parent, finally became more than he could manage. As a result of one final effort to recover, he crossed paths with two brilliant Chicago-area research-clinicians—one an optometrist emphasizing neurodevelopmental techniques, the other a cognitive psychologist—working on the leading edge of brain plasticity. Within weeks the ghost of who he had been started to re-emerge. Remarkably, Elliott kept detailed notes throughout his experience, from the moment of impact to the final stages of his recovery, astounding documentation that is the basis of this fascinating book. The Ghost in My Brain gives hope to the millions who suffer from head injuries each year, and provides a unique and informative window into the world’s most complex computational device: the human brain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every community is affected by traumatic brain injury (TBI). Causes as diverse as falls, sports injuries, vehicle collisions, domestic violence, and military incidents can result in injuries across a spectrum of severity and age groups. Just as the many causes of TBI and the people who experience it are diverse, so too are the physiological, cognitive, and behavioral changes that can occur following injury. The overall TBI ecosystem is not limited to healthcare and research, but includes the related systems that administer and finance healthcare, accredit care facilities, and provide regulatory approval and oversight of products and therapies. TBI also intersects with the wide range of community organizations and institutions in which people return to learning, work, and play, including the education system, work environments, professional and amateur sports associations, the criminal justice system, and others. Traumatic Brain Injury: A Roadmap for Accelerating Progress examines the current landscape of basic, translational, and clinical TBI research and identifies gaps and opportunities to accelerate research progress and improve care with a focus on the biological, psychological, sociological, and ecological impacts. This report calls not merely for improvement, but for a transformation of attitudes, understanding, investments, and care systems for TBI.

Book excerpt: On June 3rd, 2007, right after competing in his first surfing contest, Nate Lytle sensed that surfing may have become a distraction in hearing from God. As he drove home that night, Nate made a commitment to God that he wouldn't surf for a whole year. The next day Nate fell from the top of a ten foot ladder, shattering his skull and leaving him with a severe brain injury. Nate was not expected to live, and even if he did survive, the doctors said he would never walk, talk, or communicate again. As word spread about Nates condition, his surfing buddies urged one another on with the phrase "Pray for Nate." More God tells the compelling story of how God brought back Nate from the brink of death and put him in the very unique position of speaking truth into the lives of those who cannot speak for themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humorist Cathy Crimmins has written a deeply personal, wrenching, and often hilarious account of the effects of traumatic brain injury, not only on the victim, in this case her husband, but on the family. When her husband Alan is injured in a speedboat accident, Cathy Crimmins reluctantly assumes the role of caregiver and learns to cope with the person he has become. No longer the man who loved obscure Japanese cinema and wry humor, Crimmins' husband has emerged from the accident a childlike and unpredictable replica of his former self with a short attention span and a penchant for inane cartoons. Where Is the Mango Princess? is a breathtaking account that explores the very nature of personality-and the complexities of the heart.
