Megan has the privilege of sitting down with the very first physical therapist that treated Michael during his stay in the ICU. Steelie Szycher received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Shenandoah University and landed a dream job working in acute care at Norfolk General Hospital. Steelie served as an educator and mentor for ICU across the Sentara system for many years. She oversees an ICU champion team at Norfolk General which encompasses over 80 beds. Steelie's heart for her patients is evident in everything she does and was one of the most memorable things that stuck out to Megan as she watched Steelie work with Michael in the early days.

Michael's brain injury has wiped much of his past memories and his ability to analyze current events so it makes for strained and disjointed conversation.

Were we created with longings that could only be filled by one being? Were we designed to experience a deep need daily? Sorrow and grief may actually be a gift that leads us deeper into communion with Jesus. When we truly pause to consider the idea of lament, our eyes are opened to a beautiful process of restoring deep connection with our Creator.

My daughter wrote this poem for her 7th grade english class and it completely took me by surprise. It's the perfect glimpse into her grieving and healing mind. She artistically explains a lot of the feelings circulating in our hearts. Enjoy this treasure.

Brain injuries leave survivors and their families with many invisible struggles. There is no way to be prepared for them. Most people don't even know how to start talking about the struggles or when and where to even bring them up.  Loneliness in the middle of ambiguous loss is confusing to sort out but it can be very real. Megan talks about the survival technique of compartmentalizing and when working through your grief and finding closure becomes necessary.

Megan shares the realities of some of the little things you might not think of after life with a brain injury. Going out to eat was something we loved doing as a family before the accident, so of course doing it now would be different and involve a little bit of grief. Friends and family and people in general continue to be the backbone of our sanity as a family.

We're back for more! Megan returns to talk about their story but also shares the vision of what else is in store for us this season.
As brain injuries 'happen to the whole family' not just the survivor, this reality is becoming clearer and clearer in our every day lives. I want to see improvements in every area but we just aren't yet. Come along for the ride, we can be crazy together!
