She is panicked, crying and tells you that your father has been in an accident. He suffered a stroke behind the wheel which caused him to lose control of the car. Doctors suspect a brain injury.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Brain Injury Association of America, approximately 2.4 million people experience a traumatic brain injury in the United States every year. For many of them, the incident begins a long journey toward healing and causes a lifelong need for extra assistance in order to perform important activities of daily living. While hearing the news that a loved one has been diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury is frightening, knowing what the recovery process looks like eases anxiety and helps you to provide valuable support during this difficult time.<\/p>\n<h2>What is a Brain Injury<\/h2>\n<p>When the brain is injured, neurons, nerve tracts and even sections of the brain can be compromised. Sometimes, noticeable damage is subtle, like a change in mood or droopiness in the eyes, and sometimes, it is more severe and can include loss of limb functioning or serious speech impediments. Even things like body temperature and blood pressure can be impacted when a person experiences a brain injury, and those can sometimes be the most dangerous impairments.<\/p>\n<h2>Hospitalization<\/h2>\n<p>Most individuals with a traumatic brain injury will remain the hospital for a period of time. The length of stay can vary depending on the severity of the condition and how the body responds to treatments. Some will be admitted into the intensive care unit and may need help from a ventilator or other medical equipment to breathe and regulate their body temperature. Acute rehabilitation often follows with the individual participating in activities that will help them to re-learn basic life skills and regain some mobility.<\/p>\n<h2>San Diego In Home Nursing and Rehabilitative Care<\/h2>\n<p>When the time comes to return home, most brain injury patients will require some assistance from a San Diego in home care provider. The level of assistance can vary and may include in home aide services, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/san-diego\/home-health\/therapeutic-care\/\">physical therapy<\/a><\/strong>, speech therapy and occupational therapy.

For those with the most traumatic brain injuries, this care is often provided around the clock and includes a vital patient and family education component that can speed healing and improve outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>Hearing that a loved one has sustained a brain injury is frightening, but building a supportive care team eases the burden and facilitate a more positive recovery process.
