Help Helen Continue Therapy to Recover from a Brain Injury

Helen is a 33 year old high school math teacher who suffered a brain injury on August 7th, 2024. She suffered from a brain aenurysm and suddenly had the worst headache of her life on a typical night like any other. She went to the ER and was sent home after being told that it was just a headache and that nothing was wrong. Her discharge paperwork was then updated the next morning to note that one of her scans showed that she had a brain aenurysm that had ruptured and clotted. She eventually ended up in a neruo ICU where a decision was made to perform a surgery that was intended to reinforce the area and stop any additional damage from occuring. The surgery did not go as intended and the blood vessel being treated fully ruptured, leading to a massive brain bleed and immediate emergency brain surgery.

Since the initial failed surgery Helen has gone through a number of complications, including having a large portion of her skull removed and replaced, and then having the same piece removed and replaced again after an infection was found. Immediately post-surgery she spent about a month in the ICU, with much of that time spent on a respirator. She spent months with a trach and a feeding tube. She has battled seizures, pneumonia, blood clots and countless other difficulties.
