Path's Recovery Journey

Hello! We wanted to let you know that Path’s discharge date was confirmed for 23 April. We were surprised to find out that on our third appeal with our instance company the denial of care was overturned. Which was surprising and wonderful news. After speaking with her care team, they agree that she continues to make progress but what she ultimately needs is time. With TBIs it is impossible to put a definite timeline on recovery. Her team believe that by being at home, and close to her family and friends it will ultimately be beneficial for her. She will continue her therapies and we will continue to work towards her recovery. As she has proven over and over, she is a warrior. -Elizabeth On 04/22/24 Path and the SJHS Girls Rugby team hit the local news! Check it out below!

Healthscope has been an ongoing source of frustration and emotional distress that we could have done without.  Due to the amazing support from MFB, Path was given funding from the foundation at MFB to continue to continue her stay until 23 April.  So she will be potentially home very soon.  We are trying to get Path tr...
