I know of someone who has a son that suffered a stroke. Would he be if it from services as such? He is paralyzed on one side. His mom is so frustrated with no one seeming to care and act with urgency on physical therapy.
Could you advise please.

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.
