Best to you all. I’ve read a few studies indicating thay fish oil (huge amounts) are good for repairing damaged brains but if there is any bleeding danger it is not to be done as that would be made worse. Its cheap and worth a look. Best to you all, may the Lord bless and keep you.
Mrs. My Favorite Headache wrote: "I am writing this on-behalf of my husband and long time Freeper My Favorite Headache, he suffered a skull fracture, severe concussion, and a host of other body injuries on the night of March 6th after slipping on a patch of ice after a snowstorm hit earlier in the morning. He was walking to his car leaving a friends house from the garage to the driveway, literally 8 steps and he just went down.
The injury was sustained to the back of his head and to his back and neck and had lost all feeling in his right leg which thankfully has been getting feeling back in it over the last week.
His neurologist just did a new MRI and we get the results on the 16th. He wanted to go deeper into his brain because he sustained a bad injury when he was a kid to his frontal left lobe when he fell from a 2 story house so they are trying to see if things are worse there. He also suffered 3 other concussions through football and being hit by a drunk driver in the 90s.
I am posting here because I know he always checks this page daily and has had friends from here for years, I just don't know them personally to contact them.
Please keep him in your prayers as he tries to fight blinding headaches, memory issues, and speech issues along with the physical pain as he only leaves the house for doctors appointments and has pretty much been left to bed since leaving the hospital.
Our family is really taking it on the chin but we keep faith in Christ that things will turn out for the best. He's had a rough year losing a lot of relatives and friends through illness and insurance has already denied on special medications that cost a fortune out of pocket. Amazing that his own doctors prescribe these drugs for dementia and alzheimers patients to help with brain injuries and as they write it out they tell you that insurance likely isn't going to cover it and those days are over.
So why write the script????
Lord, be with us.
God Bless."

I am so sorry.

Dear Heavenly Father, We pray to You today for our brother, My Favorite Headache. Heal him Lord. Ease his pain and suffering. Give strength to his loving wife who is dealing with all the daily problems and issues. Embrace the both of them with Your Loving Grace. In This I Pray. Amen.
***Not sure of your financial issues but I do know that you can contact the pharmaceutical companies for assistance for the medications not covered by insurance and are expensive. It is worth a try. (((Hugs))) Mom
