    Would this test be appropriate for someone who has suffered a severe traumatic brain injury. From the get go, we have received so many conflicting stories. First hospital concerned with spine, moved our loved one 3 days later to new hospital and immediately they were concerned about brain and said he suffered an Ischemic Hypoxic Brain Injury. Normal CT scans, abnormal EEG. He is off ventilator, CT collar on, and also on a tracheostomy.

    I feel they have given up on him and currently is not tolerating 3 hour rule in order to get admitted to any in patient rehab facility.

    We live in St. Peters MO (30 minutes west of

      Denise:

      So sorry to hear of your son’s ordeal.

      This so often is a very confusing and frustrating time for so many in your position.

      Yes, this type of testing would be well suited for his needs and, more importantly, will help direct immediate intensive care for him.

      Best to call us at 828.708.5274 for free brief consultation to advise you on how best to proceed.

      Take care!
